Prairiehammer Posted April 17, 2014 Share #954 Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) I am crying 'foul'. The 1978 CB750A didn't come with the Akront rims, it came with Comstar wheels. The 1978 had dual exhaust (4 into 2). The 1978 had cast aluminum passenger foot peg mounts, not the steel frame extensions shown. Your pictured bike is a 1976 with Akront rims and stock four into one exhaust and stock passenger foot pegs (in other words a 1976 frame). The seat is not 1976 stock but it was available as a Honda option. And we can't check eBay ads from 2006 (where your pic was taken from). Here's a 1978 Honda CB750A that sold at an auction in Vegas January 2014, survivor with 4000 miles. http://forum.motorcycle-usa.com/attach.aspx/3896/750aleft%20small.JPG Here's a 1976 CB750A with the optional seat, (although the seat appears to have added padding).http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/08/75/6a/08756adcc3e671e8801653dd2168e16a.jpg Edited April 17, 2014 by Prairiehammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prairiehammer Posted April 17, 2014 Share #956 Posted April 17, 2014 Not to beat a dead horse, but for what it's worth Pegasus, here is a stock unrestored 1977 CB750A. Note the color, the pinstripes, the exhaust and the passenger peg mounts. http://tws.dk-server.co.uk/item76103-2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prairiehammer Posted April 18, 2014 Share #958 Posted April 18, 2014 Since it has been more than a day since I posted the bike to guess, I am going to assume that a hint may be needed. The country of manufacture is bordered by Poland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prairiehammer Posted April 19, 2014 Share #961 Posted April 19, 2014 Yeah, I considered showing other shots of the bike, but I figured if you saw a V-6 engine you would get it too quickly. I also considered this shot, thinking you would not notice the bike, thus spending time looking for the girl. http://www.motofgr.com/db_pics/fgrv6344.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
