Very nice example of the second production "year" CB750, the K1 model. This one was restored several years ago. I have owned it a few years, and have installed the following items to make it more reliable and road worthy: New Bridgestone tires. New rear shocks (reproduction units from Classic Motorcycle Supplies). New Dyna Ignition (including coils and wires) - no more points, weak coils, or 40 year old plug wires! Starts much easier and runs better with electronic ignition. New battery. I have put less than 200 miles on the motorcycle since instaling those parts. It runs great, rides great, sounds great - you have to love those HM300 pipes. It does not smoke, and makes no unusual noises. The chrome is in very, very good shape with no rust. There are no dents or rust on the exhaust. There are no dents in the bodywork. The engine is original to the frame. The engine cases are not cracked or broken (common problem with these early CB750's due to chains breaking). I have a clear title in my name. I did not perform the restoration. The previous owner indicated he bought the bike from a shop in Texas, and someone from the shop performed the restoration. They did a good job, all the parts are correct. They painted the bodywork and the frame and the paint is very good. It appears they put a new Honda HM300 exhaust system on it based on the condition (no rust, no holes, no dents). The seat is a nice reproduction. The chain is a nice new heavy duty one. Is the bike perfect, museum quality? No. The rubber gaskets that hold the mirrors in place are old and have shrunk, so the rattle. There are two tiny chips in the paint near the rear of the gas tank. The left side cover ws cracked when I bought it; I repaired if from the inside. You can see the two cracks if you get very close. The rear brake shoes squeek a little. The clutch has a very narrow engagement point. The clutch plates should be take out and cleaned, but I do not have any problem riding the bike, so I have not bothered. If you have been looking for a NICE early Honda CB750 to actually ride to vintage shows, to bring to "bike night", or to ride with your vintage motorcycle riding buddies, then this is it. Put gas in it and go. Bidding, Payment, Pickup: If you are the high bidder and the reserve is met, you have entered into a contract to buy the bike. Please do not bid if you do not have the funds.

I prefer cash, in person, but will work with you if you prefer to use a bank check or wire transfer. The buyer pays all transfer fees. A bank check will require at least a 7 days to assure clearance before the bike could be picked up. I will not accept Paypal. Please pick up the motorcycle within 10 days of auction close.
