Just finished my # 16050 diecast.
Its a rare German version, about 400 had been sold.
That bike stood in a famers barn her in the Black Forrest in South Germany since 1975 due to a clutch problem. Hence only 30.600 km.
Have the old German title with engine number documented.
I made a "soft restauration", so frame and engine paint is still the original, most of the parts are the genuine parts.
Paint is new by Menno Dek.
Has still the original "HMCB750" pipes.
Actually has a double final chain, will change that with original parts.
Bike is for sale soon. Location near Stuttgart/Germany

Over the years there has been questions as to whether Honda made a double cut front mudguard/fender with a speedo cable guide prior to moving to the single cut type which all had a cable guide hole. I bought a double cut front many years ago that had a hole for a cable guide It was not a drilled hole but a punched hole so I'm one of those that accepts that such a mudguard/fender was manufactured and fitted to die cast models after about VIN 12XXX or higher. If this is,as stated, an unmolested original, then there is clearly such a double cut type.
Any chance os a photo of the underseat. KP

Its the 17-hole pan.
-
Regarding front fender: my other (German) diecast has the same double cut fender with cable quide hole.
-
Very nice - especially with the correct HMCB750 exhausts still fitted.

Pics of my red German K0.
18907/E19030
I bought this bike in 2013 from inheritor of the first owner after he died at the age of 80.
Came with purchase invoice, service book and warranty card. Nice to have as those documents show frame and engine number.
Bike has about 246.000km.
Apart from the sandcast fender (the genuine DC with hole is here as well as the very first seat) still in very original condition with "HMCB750" pipes.
I drive this bike reguarily.

A bit of history.
Back in 1969, 5 guys decided to buy the new sensation, the CB750.
4 went to the same dealer, bought the bikes, had to wait a few month, took them home in the crates and registerred them on same day in the same city in March 1970
One surprised and decided to buy a MÜNCH instead.
Here two pics of 1970. My bike is the one next to the MÜNCH.
The MÜNCH and two of the other K0 are known and still on the road.

Uli, the pictures and story is absolutely wonderful! Especially the part about four guys deciding to buy bikes together, and then.... being able to bring home the bikes in crates and uncrate them at home! Back in the day, that could still be done, but was very near the time when taking delivery of an uncrated bike was a thing of the past. Did you ever ride a Munch Mammuth? if so, what are they like ? i remember as a kid reading about the Munch in magazine articles. Dad and i talked about if there was ever to be a dealer near us, we would go look a them........ and then the CB750 came along.
-
No, I didn´t had the opportunity. Had they ever been sold in USA?
The PO was a race driver in the 50th. Solo (350ccm) and side car co-driver. He gave up after they had an accident (Assen 1957 on BMW sidecar, running the world series) and his driver died.
When I picked up the K0, in the living room were all the cups and trophies he won. The inheritor was about to scrap them all. So I picked two up by chance to keep some memory.

i don't know if the Munch was ever imported in any significant number or even if at all to the USA. if i remember correctly, the Mammuth started being in American press around 1967......, 1968 for sure. Floyd Clymer was the big "mover and shaker" behind publicizing the Mammuth. Clymer was trying to revive the Indian name, and had grand plans to use Velocette, Royal Enfield, a couple of Italian marques to bring back various models under the Indian name. Clymer definitely had plans for the the Mammuth under the Indian name. Clymer died in 1970, if i recall correctly. here are a few links on Floyd Clymer. i do not think i am wrong when i say Honda killed Clymer's hopes for bringing back the four cylinder Indian in Mammuth clothing. Friedrich Munch was quite the engineer and fabricator. Anyway...... i am veering off topic. i find any motorcycle history interesting.
