1969 Sandcast with VIN up to approx. 7100 is by far the most valuable. Some trade in the $30k to $35k range. After that it's the 1969 and 1970 with die cast motors with nice ones in the $10k range, to the $20k range for excellent ones. The guy selling the 1972s in Alabama has them priced at near-early diecast levels, and while they are obviously very nice restorations, I think he'll struggle to sell two 1972s at those prices (if I recall correctly, I believe I saw these two '72s on ebay quite a while ago, unsold). The '71s are a little more valuable than a '72 also. There's an interesting technical fact about the '72s -- I believe they are the only year that had the less restrictive intake setup of the early models (though the intake doesn't look like the early setup externally), but had the more restrictive exhaust of the later models. From '73 to '76 the values are pretty close, with the '77s and '78s considered least valuable due to generally lower performance and different styling. The '76 to '78 Super Sports -- with the 4-1 exhaust -- hold their own price wise, but are still nowhere near as valuable as an early CB750 and still lag behind the more run of the mill '73 to '76 4-4 exhaust models in most cases. Hope this helps!
