Firstly let me say I'm no expert here, and being 40 years old I'm hoping some of the "older" guys might chime in...
Australian model would either be red or gold.
The K2 models unlike the u.s. we're sold here for a few years - not just '72. Up until '75 when the "sports" came out.

Two things that I know of that are different between the u.s. and Australian models.
The u.s. models have are a mph speedo and a buzzer that sounds when the Indicators are on, it's mounted behind the headlight and has its own cancel switch on the l.h. handlebar.
Thirdly will be the Compliance plate on the steering head, it should state ADR rules, if it says " this vehicle complies to federal laws etc" then it's a u.s. model.

Not a lot of info but hopes it helps,    post some pictures of your bike it may help to identify it.

Australia didn't require Compliance Plates for motorcycles until 1st July 1975. So very likely that a K2 will not have a compliance plate.

I have 3 X CB750 K2's and none have a Compliance Plate. They simply have a frame and an engine number.

Mick, A mint K1 in Australia will cost you more than double what it would in the USA, I know you want an Australian delivered one but I'd be looking at importing one and saving some serious coin... ;) Good Aussie CB's are seriously over priced.... ;)

Does anyone know any contacts who could help with sourcing and shipping a CB750 from the US to Australia? It's so hard to find them here at a cheaper price  :(

I travel to the US regularly. I have family in California, I went to school there, and my buddy is a mechanic for Deus.

I’ve been giving some thought to bringing a few bikes back with me. Shipping is not difficult.

I can also source in Canada as that’s where my ride-or-die best friend lives and he collects bikes. He sends me photos of bikes he’s found all the time and they’re on par with US prices.

Happy to chat further if this is a service people actually want (and are willing to pay for).
