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

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.
