Museum Quality, Conditioned Inside Storage, low mileage Known to all Motorcycle experts as the "game changer" when it debuted in 1969. Two of the Top Motorcycle Magazines have named this original model (designated K0) CB750 as the MOTORCYCLE OF THE CENTURY! My history with these motorcycles dates back to the time they were released in 1969 I was working for a mid western Honda franchise while still in High school. The following autumn I attended the Midwest Honda Training Center in Racine Wisconsin right after the Daytona 200 win earlier that year in 1970. There I apprenticed under Bob Jamison who was incidentally the mechanic who tore down and reworked the Dick Mann bike (of the six bikes Honda entered) prior to him winning the race. Needless to say I became a follower of these first release CB750s ever since, and have had more than enough experience tuning rebuilding and restoring a number of them over my lifetime.THE BIKEThis particular bike is in Near Perfect original condition. I have been contracted by the widow of the original owner to recommission this bike to it's original glory. It has been completely gone through with a fine tooth comb being careful to preserve the originality. There is very little in the way of patina on this particular bike as you will see by the photos.As you will also see by my opening paragraph, I have had extensive training and experience on these bikes when they first appeared on our shores. I only replaced the absolute minimum of bits to bring this to it's original glory without putting a coat of paint to hide the original finish that came with the bike motor or frame. This bike is an absolute museum quality piece and has been treated to only Honda O.E.M. parts and only where needed. These parts include:New fork Gaiters.New Fork Seals.New Rubber intake Manifolds and special Hose clamps.New rider foot rubbers.New 4/1 Throttle cablesNew Honda Oil and Air Filters.New gas cap.New NGK Plugs The original owner's widow had it stored inside her laundry room for some time when I first saw it. This bike was always stored in a conditioned area (which explains it's incredibly preserved condition). It was absolutely covered in dust and needed the carbs cleaned and gone through plus a thorough general cleaning. As I cleared away the layers I noted the originality and integrety of the chrome and mufflers. The front spokes nipples still have the gold cadmium plating and the zinc plating looks new on the spokes. The inner hubs are in very nice like they were when the owner took delivery (see photos) with no sign of oxidation as you would find with a nearly 43 year old bike. The frame paint is remarkably nice for the original finish and as you can see by the photos the paint finish overall is decent and original. All the chrome on this bike including, the back plates on the speedo and tach, the handlebars and fenders, signal lamp bodies as well as all the chrome fasteners are as nice as I have seen on any Honda...EVER. Amazingly all the original decals are in perfect condition including the tiny SHOWA pendant on the rear shocks. You will receive the original key which fits the Ignition, and Fork Lock. The Carbs have been cleaned and synchronized properly. The original HM300 mufflers reflect the integrity of the chrome is absolutely perfect with exception of a small acid stain on #3 inside pipe that cannot be seen without removal of the exhaust system. I examined the gas tank and was amazed by how clean and original it is. (see photos of the tank inner) The bike comes complete with everything including the original stock DUCK-TAIL seat. The original Tool Kit is complete and shows little use if any. The original Owner TITLE (old brown Florida title) new Title (Florida Blue assigning paperwork to his widow) will come with the bike as well as the original Owners Manual, small can of touch up paint as originally supplied. All original Stanley tail and signal lenses are uncracked and unfaded. It has the original rare Stanley sealed beam headlight. The tank and side covers were professionally refinished using the stock Honda red color. The rare original "offset" bracket K0 mirrors are very nice and are included. There are no oil leaks or signs of oil drool around the seals or gaskets. SUMMARY:In my professional opinion and in my vast experience with the SOHC CB750s, this bike is well into the top 1% of any one of them I have ever found near this condition. This is a very nice antique Honda with a commanding presence that you will enjoy owning and riding for many years. So many have been systematically dismantled and used for choppers since they were introduced and as of late stripped down into Cafe Racers, that it is actually becoming quite rare to see one in this original MUSEUM QUALITY condition. These bikes are now the new "gold standard" for collectible, affordable motorcycles that you can actually ride anywhere. Two of the top Motorcycle publications have named this bike the "MOTORCYCLE OF THE CENTURY" because of the significance of what change took place in the industry ever since. Call me with any questions or if you want to see the bike in person 239 404 3600. I'm open to offers and have the bike for sale locally so it can go away at any time.DON'T LET THE OPPORTUNITY SLIP PAST YOU IF YOU'VE EVER WANTED TO OWN ONE OF THESE SOUGHT AFTER CLASSICS. <div style="text-align:center"><a style="text-decoration:none" href="http://mostpopular.sellathon.com/?id=AC955355"><img src="http://www.sellathon.com/Resources/Images/countercredit.gif" border="0"></a></div> On Oct-23-12 at 10:07:21 PDT, seller added the following information: Due to the number of requests I have set up accounts with logistics companies and freight forwarding companies to enable coordination with anyone wanting this shipped to just about anywhere in the world for very reasonable rates.
