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.

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.

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/


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.

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!
