My first big bore bike, A CB750. around 1988 or so! It ended up built with the Yoshimura 903cc racing only big bore stroker kit, new heads, cams, crank, rods, cylinders, More... a dry clutch conversion, Mechanical methanol injection. I made SO MUCH money in the Chicago suburbs street racing In late 80's. People in built cars had NO idea what a real bike could do. I also owned a CB750, CB550, CB400, And a lil screamer CB350 4cylinder which i still have today. Earned a KHI sponsorship in Motocross. P.S I was a tool and die maker by day. And performance machinist on the side (still) Or I would never be able to have/build those kinda things without making half myself. Long post.

Honda's biggest selling bike was the CB 350. 625,000 were sold. The re CB 450 was a sales flop only 45,000 sold. They weren't sure if the CB750 would sell. That's why they didn't make dies for die castings. When it surprised them by selling out they spent the money on production machinery. The government of Japan arranged a deal for a factory just to make CB 750's. One came off the assembly line every 3 minutes. One of the motorcycle magazines had an article about it. He's going to lose his shirt. 100 K no way. Just the exhaust system is $2,500.

@@rellik136 Chains were not up to snuff and would break cases so replacement cases were die cast. New replacement cases were not stamped at the factory but we're done at the dealers for the most part. Many dealers didn't get bike untill the die casting were produced. Still l say 100K no way. But a fool and his money 💰 as they say.🤑🤑 We are talking about CB750 a CL is not a 750 designation. 350&450 didn't make enough power to break chains . After all the guys in Australia with 3 restored bikes or original low mileage examples are asking $25,000 .Heck someone could buy all 3 and still be better off. Just like tires had to keep up so did chains. Kawasaki replaced chains and sprockets under warranty as well.

By far not the rarest Honda but if it truly is one of the first 1969 models built with the sandcast engine cases it does have some added value but in that condition, its a long way off from ever bringing any real money. As a rider, the later models were less problematic and took less maintenance to keep them going. For those interested, the first 7,414 CB 750's built in 1969 used a sand cast block, not because it was better, they just didn't plan on making enough of them to justify setting up to die cast them in larger numbers. When they realized the bikes were selling 20 times faster than they had expected, they set up and switched to die casting the engine castings.

They made 7500 of these, they aren't that rare. Ultra perfect unrestored or perfectly restored (as in all original NOS parts, which would cost a fortune) go for big money, but this one will be worth far less due to the condition it's starting out in. You can buy one of these at the moment for around £20,000 in the UK, absolutely mint condition, regardless of what idiots are asking for them. I can ask 100k for a 1990 Nissan Sunny, doesn't mean it's worth that.

when anyone says "days away from being destroyed," it was never in danger. It sat at a pick a part yard for decades until an enthusiast found it. Rust Valley has thousands of "almost crushed for salvage" stories and not 1 of them true. But yeah, click bait and engagement, you win. This particular model is not super rare in general but is super rare complete. Parts alone to rebuild run upwards of 90 grand. Parting them out is where the money is. Cool story though. I have 2 1981 bultaco pursang's 1 owner. Super rare, for a reason. Just saying.
