I just traded a 1969 CB 750 K0. The story is pretty amazing, in 1969 the son of Mexico's president went to the Paris Motorcycle show. There he fell in love with the CB 750 and ordered one.
The bike was delivered to the presidential house in his name. CB's were not imported to Mexico until 1972.
The engine number is: CB750E1000063 and frame number is: CB750100081. The bike is about 85% original, it has been repainted. 12000 original Kilometers, less than 10k miles.
The engine runs strong and has a soulful purr. This weekend we'll tune it up and start the restoration. My plan is to finish with a period correct cafe racer mod. Nothing dramatic, just bring out the supersport!
I'll post pics and videos.
