Hey Mark. Welcome to the forum. The 5 in K-5 just means it is the 5th year of production. Honda did not change the bike much from 69 (K-0) through 76 (K-6). The 69-78 CB 750's have an over head cam four cylinder engine. This engine uses many of the same type of components as most automobile engines. Such as babbitt bearings, for the crank, and adjustable rocker arms. They are pretty much bullet proof. I know of one with over 200,000 miles on it.
Feel free to ask questions. We are here to help.

I like vintage bikes because they take me away from the clutter of technology that I work with everyday and back to a simpler time of mechanical elegance and simplicity.. "ninadm"

Good to have you! If you are mechanically inclined at all ,you will be fine. Very simple machines to work on and parts are readily available. Good luck and we need PICS!
