Serial numbers - Bitza bike.
« on: August 10, 2010, 04:06:33 PM »
I've always suspected my K to be a 'bitza' . Serial nos:  would suggest a K1 frame and possibly a K6 engine. The bike has been 'done up' but not restored.  Should I try to get as close to a K1 or to a K6?  :-\

I would go for a K1, what No's do you have on your frame and engine? just to confirm which 'K' you have

According to the Haynes Great Bikes series book (CB750) You have a K1 frame and a K5 engine. The K6 engine No's started 2428762

77,000  K1's produced from August 1970-November1971.The K1 was the only CB750 to have the RED wing emblem on the side panels, other models are orange.
