This 1979 Honda CB750K is a 10th Anniversary Limited Edition example that was acquired by the seller’s father in 1980 and placed into storage in 1985. Finished in two-tone maroon and red with gold pinstriping, chrome fenders, and 10th Anniversary badges, the bike is equipped with a 749cc DOHC inline-four paired with a five-speed transmission. Equipment includes a stepped two-up seat, a chrome four-into-four exhaust system, a front disc brake, ComStar cast alloy wheels, an engine guard with highway pegs, and both center and side stands. This CB750K is now offered by the seller on behalf of his father with owner’s and service manuals, an uninstalled luggage rack with a backrest, and a clean California title in the owner’s name.
The Limited Edition CB750K model was produced to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Honda’s launch of the CB750 series. The bike is finished in two-tone Candy Bayard Brown and Candy Muse Red, and each side panel features a 10th Anniversary coat of arms-style badge. Additional equipment includes street lighting, a chrome grab rail, and a stepped two-up seat with a grab strap as well as folding passenger foot pegs, an engine guard with highway pegs, and both center and side stands.
ComStar multi-piece cast alloy wheels are wrapped in older Bridgestone tires measuring 3.50-19″ up front and 4.50-17″ out back. Suspension consists of a 35mm telescopic fork as well as dual preload-adjustable shocks mounted to a swingarm that pivots on needle bearings. Braking is from a single disc with a single-piston caliper up front as well as a drum at the rear.
The chrome 6.5″-rise handlebar carries hollow-stem mirrors designed to reduce vibration and is secured by a clamp that also holds the fuse box. Instrumentation consists of a 150-mph Nippon Denso speedometer and a matching tachometer with a 9,500-rpm redline as well as lamps for oil pressure, neutral gear selection, high beam, and turn signals. The five-digit odometer indicates 3,900 miles, approximately 3k of which were ridden under current ownership.
The 749cc inline-four is equipped with a quartet of 30mm Keihin CV carburetors as well as a chrome four-into-four exhaust system with Sankei-stamped mufflers that have visible rust-through and scrapes. Factory-rated output was 77 horsepower and 48 lb-ft of torque. The engine has not been serviced from the time the bike entered storage in 1985, the battery has since been removed, and the motorcycle does not currently run. Photos show corrosion under the fuel cap and around the fuel filler neck.
The rear wheel is driven through an eight-plate clutch, a five-speed transmission, and a drive chain.
The bike is accompanied by owner’s and service manuals as well as a chrome backrest luggage rack with visible pitting.
