Just looked at the Haynes Honda great bikes, lots of K2 stuff there, be interesting to know the frame/engine numbers?....clocks are a dead give away no oil, indicator,neutral, main beam lighting
-
Looks just like my old CB750K1 rather than a CB750.
Cheers

The frame is a K0 the engine (I think) K5.

::) there is too much of this on EBAY lately,there is nothing in them pics that tell me its a K0,apart from the seat and the "j" registration plate,at best its a K1 with K2 bits,i would say its a USA import "over priced and over here" its a bike shop FFS ,they cant even be ars*d to provide the frame #, i cant see me buying off them any time soon ;)

Quite agree, i am surprised they did not manage to shoe horn the word sandcast in to it to make it more rare
-
Looks like a bit of a hybrid. Engine is late K2 at best, also looks like the head gasket is blowing...
Side panels are not K0 aswell as the list above.
Still, I suppose that it all adds to the value (cost) of the CB750 if you have one
-
I made an enquiry the engine is a K6 !...but there is a K0 engine for sale on Ebay (or there was this afternoon

Quite a difference from the proper bike, and the wrong engine to top it. That's not restoring a bike that's putting one together and so wrong.
He has a fokin cheek, fully restored indeed.

Excellent photo spitfire! The other feature was the performace of the early machines
CB750 sandcast & K0 (69 hp) as the modifications where implemented through the K's the hp decreased, the K6 being near 50 hp...refer Mark Paris My CB750 book

I had the poster with the bikes in the 70s does anybody have one, and perhaps post it on here for a look.
That bike is so nice, mine is taking shape and starting to look cracking, cant wait to get a run on the road with her next year.

Lovely bike, such a nice sound as well from them. I watched a video of a road test of a 750, but what are they actually like to ride and own, from an owners point of view.
-
The bike is relisted a couple of k cheaper now, as not many of the key parts that make a k0 are on it, i will be interested to see how it does now

;) the early cb750's sound a lot nicer than the k2's~ they have more of a howl from the pipes when you give them some stick,and i like the riding position high bars and the big comfy seat they are more suited for touring i have done some high mileage runs on these bikes, by todays standards they dont go or stop anything like my 07 1200 bandit, but for cruising around at more legal speeds its perfect,i get over 50 to the gallon and a back tyre can last over 4000 miles i havent changed a front tyre in years and brakes last forever,one of my 750's has already done over 50,000 miles and another has over 44,000 miles all they need is regular oil changes
the only real down-side ,these bikes are over forty years old ,so you need to be pretty positive with your gear changes, pick your spot when to overtake and give yourself i bit of room for brakeing,saying that my cb750 sidecar outfit has awesome brakes (twin discs on the front) i think compared to brittish classics they cant be beat ,things like electric start are a godsend if you have ever seen someone trying to start a big twin ;D

I had a BSA 650 and it was quite difficult to start, not purely from you kicking it, but it kicking you. Wicked little bastid so it was when it was cold. It pissed oil out all over the place, and fell to bits regularly. To stop anybody nicking it you were meant to take the end off the mag and it wouldnt start but it would, so it was a rusty chain and padlock. I think we forget about how bad they were and hanker for one again, not for me though, I cant remember how many times I had to run down my street bump starting the damn things.

;) exactly we don't want to go down that road again yes been there done that and had the t-shirt,
i had a 1968 BSA spitfire, i often kicked my guts out trying to start it,and i regularly pushed it home,it just wanted to vibrate itself to pieces,when it did run it handled like it was on rails ,fast easy to wheelie and ground the pegs, ;D "jap crap" for me "britt sh*t" no contest
