@AirCargoHeavy I had 1980 CB 900 Custom for about 22 years, my uncle still has 1978 CB 750 K. We had a Honda shop about 2 miles away but it just went out of business last month :( Usually, a Honda shop can order most parts although some are discontinued. I found many parts on E-bay, Craigslist, and Baltimore Cycle Salvage. I had a spare engine a relative gave me from a bike he trashed. Parts aren't super hard to find. I traded my CB 900 for my current GL 1500 Goldwing.
@AirCargoHeavy In my opinion, that Honda CB series were the best overall motorcycles ever made. A little bit of routine maintenance, and they will basically run forever. Batteries, tires, brake shoes, and cables wear out over time, but the internal engine parts are basically indestructible. Never let a motorcycle sit out in the rain, change the oil, keep the chain or drive shaft greased and like I said, I got about 22 years out of my CB 900, and it still ran fine the day I traded it in.
I have two of those machines. A K6 and a K5. Your's looks really nice.
I have the orange one. I gave it a new clearcoat because the orange tends to fade fast. With a new UV clearcoat over the original painting it's now deep orange...
I have found a 1969 Sandcast! frame # 819 and motor # 1062. It needs a complete restoration and is only missing the headlight & pipes. I have a 1971 with good exhaust and headlight, will they be correct to put on a 1969?
Im lucky enough to run a K0 thats been mine for 27 years! This 40 year old bike will run a genuine 120mph (according to Sat Nav) do 40 mpg and just keeps going. Its such a pleasure to ride, I have other bikes, sports bikes but this thing is still great...... it can punt around town, tour, squirt along back lanes.....and it never fails...incredible!
it's a lot of very nice stock parts but they were junk stock parts to start with. rip that motor and trans out throw it in a rigid frame and build yerself a real motorcycle! i love these bulletproof motors to death ! built to be riden and go for a long time before they started building shit to break but the tank, frame, seat, front end exhaust none of it does it for me. but anyway, thats my opinion, great job keeping an antique alive!
It could beat a Z-1 if the Z-1 needed a tune-up (Often!) or had a donk rider. My father-in-law had a 1969 750 K0 and I had a 1975 Z-1B. The major advantage had by the Honda was that it didn't require nearly as much tinkering and fiddling as my Kawasaki seemed to.
Very nice K0....add on's to make it a true rider isntead of jsut a show piece....CR carbs, no airbox, custom plug wires, but stock pipes.....duckbill seat. Yamiha sells that seat for 900 dollars!!!
I've had 4 of these over the years - a K2, 2 K7's and a F1
they got a rubber frame and and dubious handling and brakes but are soooo reliable if you service em regularly.
They were so long lasting that Honda realised they'd shot themselves in the foot - people would buy a CB750 and keep it for years - so the replaced it with the twin cam 750 that was shagged after 40000miles :-D
Very nice near stock bike. It's missing the lower tank chrome strips and what happened to the air cleaner box? Mine is Teal Blue and I have 5 other 1969-72 CB750s. I love them all, they're like my kids. You take a good care of them and they return in kind. All rust free, thanks to Las Vegas weather but it's been getting more humid since 1980s after more people started to move in.
(anzac23) you're right - and look how long it took Triumph to get it together again (better late than never, I'm happy to say). My mate had a lovely Norton Commando but was always working on it for some reason or another. Fine if it's a hobby bike, but not if you just want to get on and ride. Ironic, but now these Japanese bikes have a heritage all of their own, too. Beautiful.
That's a local market japanese bike. Notice the red Speed Warning Lamp on the panel. That was a silly japanese legislation that the bike had to light up a warning lamp when the rider exceeeded a certain speed. The speedometers had a redline accordingly.
i bought the exact same bike as that off an ex cop at a yardsale for $100,it was sitting in his shed for years his son went round a corner 2 fast,flew down a cliff and was instantly killed. The front of the bike was smashed off and the back wheel was smashed and one engine cover. his dad put A cb900 front end rear wheel and lot's more ect...
looked in verry good condition when i bought it, just needed carbs cleaned, had it 4 a year then sold it for 500
Mine was a 1978 cb750 I Loved it!!!
