Certainly nice to look at, but no interest in a museum piece personally, particularly at that price. Never understand that desire for "first" of something that's a production model. It's certainly cool on one hand, but on another when it was first of many and then the many fall rapidly in price...that's where I'd rather be LOL.
I concur. I guess the bike would make you the envy of every Honda collector, but that kind of money would buy a lot of toys you could actually play with.
I think 736cc said it best... "its too valuable to own and too desirable to sell".

Hey 736CC ...you seeing this?
That prototype was sold during a Honda warehouse fire-sale of used motorcycles about 7-8 years ago by a clueless son of a big shop owner in the northeast. Somebody I knew bought it for a song. He called me up to tell me about this strange CB750 he found. I spent 2 days rummaging thru it and informed him of what he stepped in. He offered to sell it to me a week later and the night before I was to pick it up, he backed-out. Ironically I am sorta glad i did not buy it; its too valuable to own and too desirable to sell. It would have been too distracting to own, and the ultimate "I wished I never sold that bike"
