Engine and frame no's
BigAl (Alan):
Production figures? as image, figures out of Haynes (Great Bike series CB750) Nigel's figures starting at 20**** seem correct.
My concern is the produced K2 numbers of 63,500?...as Nigel's bike is 74,937 (frame No. 2074937) I have assumed that numbering would start from 000001? Is there a correct Honda list of produced bikes?

Trigger:
The figure 63.500 is incorrect as the UK units carried on until 1975, though I have seen UK Unit VINs starting with 210 ;)

I'm the other 'lurking' bomber owner .
Maybe we should start a separate bomber thread?
Photo of mine down at the Goodwood Revival this weekend..

Lovely Bomber James.....I (of course) like most of the Honda's from this era..........never contemplated a CB450 personally, but there is just something about this CB450 which looks 'right'. Maybe it's that first model which steps up from the gorgeous 250/ 305 twins to a bigger bike (engine capacity and cycle parts) which makes this one so attractive. In particular, I love the chrome panels on the tank and the saddle, and the side panels, and the clocks, and the exhausts.....you get my drift !
My Sister in Law bought a new Honda CRX car about 1990 and I opened the bonnet and thought 'Wow' because everything just looked 'right' and in the right place and configuration. Perfect. And I think the Bomber is also in that league.
I think you are right to keep it exactly as it is (I would have to polish and preen it) and I hope you will post some more photos of it in the future.......on it's days out. Just ferking beautiful !

Ashimoto, James and MCTID, Trigger, (never knew a video existed on my Bomber!!)😳👍
My apologies for not thanking you all for your Bomber contribution - still looking for an earlyish 750 and have been somewhat distracted. Hard work finding a decent one!
James, you have lovely Bomber, fancy we try to get a couple more together meeting halfway? (I live in Ringwood). I'm running a Jap bike day at Sammy Millers, New Forest on the 2 June 2018 and you and all of you guys are most welcome to join in. Some really lovely Jap stuff on the day, which is now in it's 4th year. Around 60 - 80 bikes attend and the awards are sponsored by the VJMC.
The final tale of that K2 I was looking at was that it turned out to have an earlier K2 engine in it. It was the wrong engine for it's year.
Now, back to trying to find the 'right' 750....🤔
Nige.
