You are on the right track. The 69-78 CB 750s are great bikes. There is not really much difference between the 60-76 K models. The 77-78 K had a different tank, and seat that made them a little more modern looking. Then there are the 76-78 A models with the automatic transmission which look like the 77-78 K models. Then there are the 75-78 F models. These were the high performance models. The thing I really love about these bikes is how simple they are. Any body can work on them, and no special tool are required. Also parts are available. Either through Honda, or aftermarket. I have taught several friends that were not mechanically inclined to do maintenance work on their SOHC Honda's, and they are always surprised how easy they are to work on. I have taught them everything from adjusting the valves to changing fork seals. I myself feel that most of the fun in owning one of these bikes is maintaining it.
