Thoughts on this little beauty guys? The price is right methinks...

Pretty decent looking. Probably worth the price if it runs well. I don't like the red engine accents though...
Looks good for the price. Like Nakid said, if it runs then it's a keeper.
It has that extended swingarm that slows down the already slow steering. It's got what appears to be a Lester mag off of a Kawasaki on the the rear.
$100 bike. If it runs.

that's exactly what I was thinking when I read the ad
In my opinion, it's old. They aren't particularly desirable. It isn't stock. In my book, stock is worth more, whether it's a Duc or an old Honda K-series. It isn't something you can ride daily. Parts are getting scarce. It doesn't even have airfilters on it. It looks really uncomfortable. I bet the cases were painted with a brush. I'm not sure if Honda K-series came with those Comstar wheels, but it has JC Whitney headlight brackets. It's put together with old junk parts.
But, as I said, that is just MY opinion.
cafe this

Now that I would take a look at. All stock, probably gets about 120 mpg.

I agree but might go as high as $500. I love the way craig-listers always come up with some lame reason why they have to sell. Got another bike - not enough room [laugh]
The bike would be worth more if stock, even if you were going to cafe' the thing (see carpy) http://www.cb750cafe.com/ (http://www.cb750cafe.com/)
Just for comparison

Hey, I met that guy that builds the CB750 cafe bikes at the car show here in Santa Maria a year or two ago. He wasn't there this year.
true cafe racer Honda.
thats an oxymoron.

I just sold this bike for almost 1/4th of what that dude is asking

I was sad to see it go... it is a sweet bike! but I'm sure you will do it justice that I couldn't!
I wish it was on a truck headed to my garage. I'm looking for a 600-750 from that era/body style. My son likes riding on the back of my rebel, but I'm turning that into a bobber and need a nice 2-up bike.
Too much.
A friend gets them pretty regularly for around $500 to $1000 in better (stock) shape.
