Just ran across this at a local dealer if anyone is interested;

Don't know much about them.

Pretty rare didn't sell well. I would think a unique collectible and probably priced pretty close to value.

I like that it has a top speed of 97 mpg!

Brings back a lot of laughs. Took a turbo charged 750 automatic to Daytona in 1977 and raced it in the sand drags. The two speed was a big advantage. Lots of fun, heck of a bike and street legal. Met a guy there with a turbo charged CBX.
Luckily I never went back to Bike Week at Daytona.

Any "Two speed" always makes me laugh. My first car- a 1971 Toyota Corolla station wagon with a two speed automatic transmission. It seemed like 0-60 could be measured in minutes rather than seconds...

Fair price. It's basically a 2 speed 'Hondamatic' with a torque converter, as found in their very early cars. I've seen these come up occasionally locally and they look like a neat idea. They're considerably slower, and have different camshafts and engine tuning (less HP and more bottom-end torque) that the normal CB750 of the same year.

I've got a 450 A in my back yard from the same year. Some day I'll get her running.

Lol there is a little old man that has been riding around here for years on a 400 or 450A. National Cycle Plexistar 2 clear shield, milk crate on the back, open face helmet, work gloves. Always going the opposite direction. One of these days I'm going to see him, pull a U turn, flag him over and see just how many miles are on that bike.

A little old man riding still riding a Honda describes a good number of us!

There's a '77 Hondamatic 750 listed for sale on the SOHC/4 forum for only $700. It is listed as a barn find that is complete and running. 10K something on the odo. Then it says it's missing the kickstarter and will need exhaust and front tire.

The picture shows some light dirt, but definitely not bad all around condition.
Wasn't able to do a link, sorry.

A bloke who lives somewhere near me had a Hondamatic 750. The only time I saw him and it he was thinking about selling it. The next time I saw him, he was riding a white CB1100. Told me mine had inspired him.
