A red Z1B went for a shade over $20k

I watched all two hours the video from CycleDrag Jack,  pretty well done as always! All of his information was not perfectly spot on,(maybe he just misspoke)  although he does have a lot of knowledge and I really like his enthusiasm. Thank you to those who brought this to my attention and shared links!  I didn't see any of the vintage Kawasakis sell other than the Blue KZ650 with the Kerker that went for $3500,  but the Captain America Chopper that no-saled at 30K was interesting, the owner apparently wanted $70!

A lot of knowledge for a guy his age.
 

I didn't realize the CB 750's were so popular.  A low mileage 1979 CB 750 went for close to $50,000.00 and a 1976 CB 750 went for $25,500.00.  A 1975 Z1-B, a twin to my old one, went for $20,000.00.  All quite interesting.

The CB750 is a historically significant motorcycle, but I have no idea why a 79 or even a 76 would have that much value.

I have lot looked? But I believe the Honda 79? might have been a 1969 sand cast, 1st production.
I scored one (69 sand cast) in 1998 for a mere $200 from an Old Lady! Deceased Husband, Really! Sat for 25 yrs. Dirty, greasy, oily! I cleaned it! Then I sold it to "KAZ" (ClassicRunners99) in California for $10,000! 

I misled Rick, I texted him the wrong year on the Honda. It was this bike a 1970 CB 750 that sold for $55,000.00 item F291



 

2 different Knuckleheads went for $200,000 and one went for $185,000. The 12 bikes from the Bergen family collection went for more that $1.5 million. I was waiting for a bike to fall over with the casual way they push them around. A Norton Atlas just did on the turntable.

There were two Z1's in the auction.  One went for $36k (with premium) and the other went for less than $20k.  The second one had a lot of reproduction stuff on it.  A red Z1B went for $24k with premium.

Wow! That was my first bike. Was a blast to rip around the farm on as a kid. It was a big deal when I graduated to the "big boy bike," a 1975 Yamaha Enduro 125.

I'm surprised he didn't recognize the Rickman Z1.
