Having been ridden for a mere 12,000 miles, this retro beauty still manages to look like it was produced yesterday.
As you browse through this article’s photo gallery, you will meet a sublime ‘79 MY Honda CB750K with just under 12k miles (about 19,200 km) on the clock. The bike’s previous owner had its two-up saddle reupholstered to keep things looking nice and tidy, while the wheels were fitted with Bridgestone’s high-grade Battlax BT45 rubber as of last year.
Following a comprehensive overhaul of its carburetors, the creature’s battery, spark plugs, and fork seals have all been replaced for good measure. As for the four-banger's fundamental specs and features, the CB750K comes equipped with an air-cooled 748cc inline-four engine, which packs dual overhead cams, four valves per cylinder, and a quartet of 30 mm (1.2 inches) Keihin inhalers.
The powerplant will go about delivering as much as 77 hp at 9,000 rpm, along with 48 pound-feet (65 Nm) of torque at approximately 7,000 spins. This force travels to a chain final drive by means of a five-speed transmission, resulting in a healthy top speed of 124 mph (200 kph). In terms of fuel capacity, the machine’s gas chamber can hold up to 5.3 gallons (20 liters) of juice.
Stopping power is generated by a single 275 mm (10.8 inches) brake disc up front and a traditional drum module at six o’clock. Honda’s old-school gem rests on telescopic forks and twin shock absorbers, while its dry weight is rated at 520 pounds (236 kg). Now, let’s get to the point, shall we?
This well-kept 1979 CB750K is making its way to the auction block on the BaT (Bring A Trailer) platform, where it will be listed at no reserve until Tuesday, November 16. For now, you’d need something in the neighborhood of 7,500 bucks to surpass the current bid, which is placed at $7,200. If you’ve been looking to bring a Japanese classic into your driveway, you ought to seize this opportunity while there’s still time.
