Finished in red and black, the bike is powered by an air-cooled 736cc SOHC inline-four paired with a five-speed transmission. It also has an electric starter, a front disc brake, 19″ and 18″ wire-spoke wheels, a reproduction two-up seat, folding passenger foot pegs, chrome-finished fenders, and both center and side stands. The bike was acquired by the seller on BaT in August 2024, and work under current ownership involved installing a reproduction two-up seat with a passenger grab strap as well as changing the battery, drive chain, and tires. This CB750K3 is offered at no reserve with a service summary, repair manuals, a folder of receipts and resources, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
