Which K cb750 model had the highest and lowest production numbers?

Johnie · « **Reply #51 on:** October 22, 2011, 07:16:27 AM »

Highest was the K1 at 77,000.
Lowest was the sandcast at 7,400.

I'm liking that answer Johnie

Better think up a good question now----------

OK...here is a question to take us off the beaten path a bit.

In the 60's there was a song written about the Honda.

1.) Who wrote it?
2.) Who recorded it?
3.) What was the year?

Geez Johnie your mean. A lot of our members probably were not even born yet when that song came out.

All I can say though is that bike better of had just one cam----Could be grounds for a question disqualification.

That was sort of a trick question because many don't consider a sandcast a K model but rather a cb750 only.

Let me take a guess off the top of my head Prospect and eliminate, err, ahh I mean say the 1976 K6?? Thinking that or 77-78 ??

Johnie · « **Reply #63 on:** October 22, 2011, 10:17:21 AM »

If you eliminate the sandcast then it would be the K8 at 36,000.

Seem to see quite a few of those K8's still around. Love for the old SOHC was dwindling by then,damn Kawasaki's,time kind of caught up with her.

Johnie · « **Reply #65 on:** October 22, 2011, 12:07:38 PM »

Here are the production stats. Pretty interesting stuff. I see it was the K5 which was at 35,000.

Honda wasn't always perfect. Several thousand first run imports were crushed because Honda didn't understand the U S safey and polution rules. They were quite embarrassed and vowed to return to this market. Seen one lately.

Don R · « **Reply #67 on:** October 22, 2011, 09:35:41 PM »

Some of those little Honda cars were sold for off road use only. A dude in California used them like go carts on a track. I think there was an ad in the back of Hot Rod.

Which movie did Arnold Schwartzenegger ride a Honda? Which model and year? What were the mods?

CycleRanger · « **Reply #71 on:** October 24, 2011, 07:01:09 AM »

Was it that movie where he played a total bad-ass killer?

Tews19 · « **Reply #72 on:** October 24, 2011, 08:24:24 AM »

HInt PLEASE::::::-- Did he have an accent in the movie?

A little vid of that has been posted here before-Hint Hint

Trav-i · « **Reply #74 on:** October 24, 2011, 12:35:14 PM »

It's been a long time since last watched that movie, but I know the movie was the Terminator. But I can't for the life of me recall the bike or mods to it.

EDIT:
I think the only mod to the bike was a small fairing on the front, and I guess you could say the rifle strapped to the side was a modification too.
