I agree Steve. I saw the ad and saw that he missed labeled the ad. This is the second time it has been posted on eBay and I talked with the seller - I think he thought he had a sandcast because he set the reserve very high. Anyways i agree it would be a nice survivor bike.

Is the tank worth more used or unused? I guess it would depend if the person who is restoring a sandcast is using majority NOS Honda parts. Anyways cool find nonetheless.

According to the SOHC forum, there were 53400 made. http://www.sohc4.net/cb750k-serial-numbers/ . With those numbers, you'd think you would see more of them.

I would have to agree. These Sandcast bikes come up very infrequently and to have an almost complete Sandcast is a great find. I second that on selling the K2 and keeping the Sandcast. What's the worse that can happen. It appreciates in value and you can sell it for more. You don't necessarily have to ride it.

I'm just starting to learn this bike myself. I don't have one but I've been reading the restoration builds on this forum. They have a wealth of knowledge. I know you were thinking of selling but to be honest these bikes are hard to find. I know I've been trying for several years now. I believe the last sandcast was # 7414. The earlier models were more valuable because they had rare parts not found on the later sandcast bikes. Many of the fellas on here are experts on sandcasts so if you wanted to try to restore it, i'm sure that you will get a lot of useful information and guidance. Good Luck!

Yup, it looks like you have one. It's missing a few things just from the pictures: the seat is from a later model as well as the airbox. The front fender looks right. The oil lines from the picture appear correct but it would be better to have closer pictures. The tank should have wrinkles when you look down the tank cap. The gauges should be black background with greenish numbers and markings. Do you have the side covers?
Good Luck

Hey Sgt.Pinback. Yeah I did catch the K0 virus. It's almost as bad as the cb1100F virus. At one point Last year I had 7 cb1100F. Now I'm down to 2 cb1100F bikes. Same goes for the vf1000r bikes. Now I'm into the K0's. I just love their classic looks and history.
As far as restoring the K0- I'd love to restore a few of them. The 69' is rough but it has almost everything there. The engine is stuck so I'll need to pull it. I have one blue/green or teal bike with all newly painted tank, air box, and side covers. It just needs a nice set of hm300 and a seat. That one is almost done.
The goldie needs work but it runs. I would like to get a painted set from yamiya, and redo the seat. I would love to restore this bike as well.

Wayne thanks for letting me join this awesome forum. I'm relatively new to the hobby and have been buying old Honda motorcycles for the past 3 years. I started with a 1977 CB550 and from then on caught the bug. I have had a number of bikes and love meeting the people in the hobby. Lately though I have been into sandcast 750's and CB750 K0. I have had a sandcast frame with an unstamped engine which I ended up selling - big mistake! I recently found a sandcast engine for $75 - it was #646. The engine needed a lot of work and I ended up selling that as well. I did not think it was fair to the hobby for me to keep it if I wasn't able to rebuild the engine. This past sunday however, I ran into a CL ad for a chopper with a sandcast engine. It was only on CL for about 3 hours. I called up the guy and he sold it to me, so I have engine #2184. This engine is in much better shape. All the fins are in good shape. The engine has compression and cranks over. Finding this engine has given me some encouragement that some day I will have my very own Sandcast. Prior to this find, I have been buying up 1970 CB750 K0 bikes all over the US. I found a gold one in Santa Cruz, a Blue/green one Wisconsin, and another blue/green one in Maryland all within the past month. And even today I found bought another K0 in Michigan.
