It will be interesting to see what the 1966 CB450K0 Black Bomber goes for.
https://www.swva.co.uk/classic-car/honda-450/ I had a 1967 one and the actual bike, that I owned, is currently for sale on eBay for £12,995. I sold it for about £180 in 1977.

Liked the CBX, sounded like a jet turbine but never wanted to own one, balancing the six carbs was a major undertaking. |

Yes, lots of work on those engines, but six open pipes does sound spectacular

The engine was technically advanced for its day. It had double overhead camshafts, twin carbs and used torsion bars instead of valve springs. It was red-lined at 9,500 rpm. Even had electric start.
