Post Listing Update: This CB750 was pulled off of eBay due to “an error in the listing.”
Before Honda realized what a hit they had with the CB750, they used cheaper sandcast molds for the first 7,414 engines. These early ‘sandcast’ bikes have become quite collectible, and the lower the production number, the better. Based on the VIN (and per this website), this is just the 31st CB built.
This bike (VIN: CB7501000031) has 4,271 miles on the odometer and for at least the last 25 years it has been part of a dealership’s museum where it has been kept indoor and maintained. Nothing has been restored, and everything is claimed to be original. It’s not perfect, but sandcast CBs are selling for crazy money nowadays and based at where the bidding is with this example, it seems like people don’t seem to find the scratches on the engine or paint chips in the tank.
Find this CB for sale in Frederick, Maryland with bidding up to $36,300
