What year would this CB750 vin be?
« on: August 01, 2007, 10:28:45 AM »
Frame:  CB750-1047565
Engine: CB750E-1047722

Picked one up with no vin tag or title, looks early...70 or 71 Im thinking.

Might be the elusive CB750K-ZERO which fell between CB750K and K1
Only few hundred made; had K1 carbs and ribbed black airbox w/ early type shark-gill sidecovers and badges.
Very rare and hard to document.

Hmm That would be neat but being the vin tag is missing, It probably doesnt have much value.

Things I know about it:
It has one early sandcast style gauge and one k1 style gauge. painted headlight. one of the mirrors has the adjustable dome nut behind the glass. Carburettors have a rocker arm with a push pull cable. airbox is the black ribbed type.

From my Wyatt book:
CB750 K0
Frame number  CB750 1044826-1044947
Engine number CB750E 1044848-1045147

CB750 K1
Frame number  CB750 1053399
Engine number CB750E 104481

CB750K0 "This one, as I have emphasised, was a transition model only. I do not believe any of these bikes went to America. Only 121 were made, and 36 were delivered to the UK. I do not know where the others went."
