CB750A 1977 Original, low miles and beautiful in KY

Classic ride in beautiful condition. I have had multiple compliments on this bike. Rarer every day!


I love love love this bike. She is in amazing condition with just over 12k miles and in all original condition. I bought her only 2 months ago from an older gentleman who knew her all his life. I had some small leaks repaired and have been riding her regularly. However, I am a middle aged girl, and she is too HEAVY for me! I can't back it up, or put it on the center stand by myself so I don't feel confident handling it. Also, these bikes sit up taller than some, so are not great for shorter stature people.

She rides and drives beautifully. I have been on several hour long rides already with no issues.

This is an AUTOMATIC motorcycle. Great for anyone with left wrist or foot problems. Or anyone who just likes an easy ride. I measured about 39 mpg pushing her pretty hard

It will need a rear tire, as it has some dry rot. and that's about all that I know of. I had to replace the key switch with an aftermarket one, so there are 2 keys, one for the ignition and one for the seat. There is a cover that goes over the switch that is not in the picture, bc I forgot to put it back on..... but I have it.

Comes with original manual and toolkit as well. I put historic tags on it so annual taxes are CHEAP!

Pictures were taken early in the morning so that may affect the appearance in the photo. There are no dents or scratches and as far as we can tell, it has never been on it's side.

Willing to trade for a Honda Magna or Kawasaki Vulcan 700-800, year not important, but mileage and condition is.

Call me at 859-3one4- 5 four 09   I am in central KENTUCKY.

That is a beautiful bike. I really like the automatics. I have 4 of them. One is a 77 that is the same color as yours, but not near as nice. I have another 77 that has lowering blocks on the rear, and the forks dropped
1 1/2 inch in the triple trees. It sits a lot lower, and is very comfortable. Have, you considered lowering it? Also I have a 76 model that I ride all the time. It has an aftermarket seat on it that sits at least 2" lower then stock. It's ugly as all get out, but very comfortable.
What is your asking price?

Wow... I'm so sorry I didn't put the price on there!  But YOU are the expert!  I have it listed on CL locally for 2500.  This may be too high but I don't want tire kickers ppl who think I am selling because I need money.  I have considered lowering it, but my problem is not riding her.  There's no problem there!  It just bothers me that I can't MOVE her around to even turn it around in my driveway, or out of a parking spot, etc. 

Also, I feel like she deserves better than me.  I am not a mechanic tho I can do basics like oil changes and chain tightening.  I am afraid that I might mess her up and ruin her!

I am curious on your opinion of her asking price.  I bought it cheaper, but had to have some work done.  I have clear title of course. 

I didn't even know these existed until I found it for sale locally!  It is really a cool machine!
