Up for auction is my 1976 Honda CB-750K, it has 12650 original miles. Original owner, title in hand, bike purchased new, in a spur of the moment thing back in 1977. Used it on and off over the years when time permitted. Replaced original seat, added custom seat and rear bar rack. I could not find the original seat to restore bike to original condition. I did find the grab bar. Didn't ride the CB-750K much. I had the gas & oil tanks drained during the winter months, removed the battery and stored it in garage in a special cover made for motorcycle storage. On & off thought out the years, during the summer months, I would have the bike restored to riding condition and took it out for a riding. It didn't need much to restore, usually a new battery and fluids would do it.

I recently (Dec. 2010) had the bike serviced for the following: engine tune-up, carburetors cleaned/ float needles adjusted, new spark plugs, brake & tire inspection (2 new tires) new battery. New front brake, new fork seals. Clutch/ throttle cables and drive chain good condition, both front handles grips worn but still ok. I have been starting the bike up every 2-3 days, starts right up with starter button & kick-starter, No smoking at startup, No funny noises or strange vibrations, no leaks, just normal idle after warm up.

For a bike that is 35 years old, it looks new. Has original paint. The tank has very few minor scratches near gas cap. The chrome on this bike shows a very minor sign of pitting, nothing major. The engine has some scratched & rubbed surfaces. Turn signals all function. Head light & hi-beam, brake lights all function, Hi beam,Turn & Neutral indicators also function. Horn also functions. Bike right headlight fork ear has minor dent, right front turn signal lens has small crack near screw.
Front brake lever has rub mark on end of handle. Front fender has two inch hairline minor scratch. I have the original owners manual/Honda's Warranty Policy Service record and DMV 1977 purchase New Vehicle receipt.

I have provided pictures of the above mentioned flaws on the bike.
I took several hundred pictures of my bike, but was only able to list 24 pictures on ebay.
If you wish to see anything specific from the bike or see additional pictures just email me at  mbseek@yahoo.com

Again,considering this bike is 35 years and has 12650.9 miles, it is a very well preserved bike.

The bike is sold as is, No warranty.  
All reasonable and /or relevant questions will be answered.

Very pretty, but I guess the postage would put a few of us off  ::)

You would probably be better off advertising on the US site

My Uncle (Peter Adams) used to be the Service Manager of Thousand Oaks Honda over 20 years ago...he may well have serviced that bike if it came from there originally.

Nice bike...does it come with the original seat? (not that I want to buy the bike...i'm just asking).
