Gents,

I am going to look at a 1976 CB750K6 tomorrow, and although it appears to have been restored correctly, how can I tell if it is a USA import, or a genuine UK bike ?

Your help would be appreciated.

My experience generally:

- USA import has identification label in steering head (right side), including mfg date, while European ones does have them on right side of the frame, next to side cover
- US import shall have stock high bars


I strogly recommend to study this site, there are all small importnat details to see if bike is stock/genuine or not. But, there are US models only

Erny,

Thanks for your reply and the link. Do you have a link to a better, more comprehensive, and more accurate list please ?

Only joking, that must be the most comprehensive site ever. Thanks, that`s a great help, going to see the bike tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

We had the K6 model in the UK. We have one. Edit...2 actually 🙄🙄🙄
The switch gear is also different on UK bikes. Quite a few differences actually, thinking about it. There are a few USA K6's around that have been restored and made to look like UK models to gain a better price. Look at the log book, it will tell you if its a 1st registered UK bike or an import.

Erny:
Oh yes I messed it up with K5. You are fully right, Julie! Correcting my post..
