Hello for all,
I have just added a French Sandcast in the 16000 series, it is E-1016804 and this Sandcast engine is not painted.
We now have the continuity of the 14000 15000 16000 and 17000 series!!
And let's be crazy... Perhaps one day we will see a 13000 series emerge from the shadows and 18000 serie...

General Discussion / prototype side cover emblem
« Last post by Joe on December 05, 2024, 09:50:27 am »
When Honda first presented a CB 750 to the public in 1968, no one could even imagine the hype that the hunt for the very first models or their spare parts would trigger 55 years later...

I have just found the right side cover emblem of the prototype model...and it seems to be an original part of stamped metal!
I just wonder: who has something like this and/or can provide further information about this rarely designed piece?
- how many build?
- colour combination
- history and photos

In my opinion, the design of this emblem is much more successful than the emblem used later for the K0!
Does anyone know why Honda changed the design?

All these have stamped numbers on the headstock No number = replacement frame, not correct frame or some other reason All have the stamping CB750 - 1XXXXXX
The key feature is the number 0 is a split type font

One more question.
Is there a frame number directely on the frame- where?
Or is it only on the typ plate?
Thanks

Hi, thank you very much. That is a good Info. I didn't think at eBay UK. But to be honest, I thought the prices are more high. I didn't think, that you can find one below 20-25k.

A quick look on Ebay UK shows 8 sandcasts for sale presently, various conditions from original to restored, and with prices in the range of £16000 (GBP) through to £35000. Several of these have been for sale for a long time (more than a year for sure), and some have been reduced in price several times and still not sold.
Prices here in the UK have peaked, some suggest they are 30% down. Personally I think that for more than £20,000 GBP it needs to be either exceptional in originality or standard of restoration, and / or a particularly early example.
There is certainly choice out there, I guess it is just a case of making the effort to assess how good the example you are thinking of buying really is, and factoring in the added costs of buying something which is not in your own country!
