1972 Honda CBR 450

[Wyosteve]

A friend of a friend has a cherry Honda CB 450. He is trying to get some idea what the bike is worth. Anybody out there know where he might go to get some idea of its value? Any feedback would be appreciated.

All depends on condition and marketing. Truly mint and in perfect condition, marketing nationally with great photos, perhaps $2K or a bit more. But locally marketed and with a few nits, he'd be lucky to clear a grand. The only 450's with serious collector appeal are the orignal 66-67 black bombers. And the bike has a reputation for top end valve problems.

How about the rule of thumb....a buck a cc?

Put it on E-Bay, he could get a bidding war and get 10K! :blink:

Dunno what its worth, but it might make fun little bike to add to the stable.

I'm willing to offer $100 cash money!

Seriously, when he figures out what he wants for it, let me know. I might actually be willing to buy it.
