Don’t forget the most expensive part on the bike that’s missing. The no number exhaust pipes. Honda began stamping hm300 on pipes around vin 18000 or so.

"This is a well-restored bike in excellent shape..."
A very nice and desirable machine, yes. But that's a bit of a stretch. A "survivor," maybe? It's not been "restored." It's had its tank and side covers repainted. The cap-open shot #52 indicates the level of repaint quality. It's had a repop seat and new fork gaiters fitted. Not much else done here.
The outer engine cases, lower fork legs and carbs show much typical oxidation. They've never been removed and repolished. Rusty hardware, chrome with brightmarks all over. Brake reservoir wrong. Underseat shot #71 shows frame was never stripped and repainted. Wrong tires fitted.
I guess some have a different definition for "restored." But well restored? A bit of a stretch guys.
That might account for its low sale price at Mecum, but yes, it was still quite a bargain. I'd happily have bid more were I there! And I'll toss my helmet into the ring at this bid level.

@twosaun Well, thank goodness we cleared that up\! 😂 We certainly don’t claim to be motorcycle experts, nor do we pretend to be. We’re enthusiasts who appreciate beautiful machines and enjoy sharing them with an audience that does too. If our biggest mistake is saying “drives” instead of “rides,” I think we’re doing pretty well! Thanks for keeping us on the straight and narrow! 🏍️

Please say runs and ‘’rides’
I’ve never ‘driven’ a motorcycle
C’mon man, know your audience!

3.25 hrs to go and this is only at $13,750? I don't understand, not a detailed expert on sandcast CBs but I know enough to be thinking WTF. Is the mileage scaring bidders off? This machine is clean and beautiful. If any experts can chime in on why this may be I'd be interested in hearing, Regardless, this damn thing looks factory mint to me, best of luck to all concerned!

This is a well-restored bike in excellent shape, not a static display piece. Runs and drives perfectly!

We took the Sandcast out for a drive and snapped some great photos in the sunshine to show it from a different perspective! Take a look—this beauty looks amazing, rides beautifully, and brakes just as it should. What a pleasure to ride!

Since everybody’s been working overtime counting my money 😂💰, I figured I’d help y’all out with the math! I flipped a car earlier that day and made a nice little profit, so technically the bike cost me a whopping $0! 🤣 If we decide to sell it, every dollar is profit. Hope that clears things up for my unpaid accountants! Y’all can clock out now! 😂👏

Incorrect "Horse". The $8800 INCLUDES the 10% buyers fee!
Oct 24, 2026 · 11:59
Yes, bought at Mecum Nashville in September for $9,680
($8,800 + 10% buyer's fee)
This bike sounds much quieter than the Vic World resto bike that sold here October 9th for $115,000 - that bike has an excitingly raucous, ground-shaking muscular SuperBike sound to it !

Sorry I was looking at the wrong Mecum bike.

The frame numbers on the Mecum bike and this bike do match. https://www.mecum.com/lots/1180101/1969-honda-cb750-sandcast/

It's got to be the Mecum bike. Exact mileage, and same scuff mark on the carb.
Oct 23, 2026 · 16:45
Different VIN? But same mileage, condition, color and engine crash bars! And Tennessee title.

Crazy nice. My friend in Norway have the red sister. Absolutely incredible nice.

Is this not the same bike that was just sold at Mecum Auction in Nashville? Bikes and Beards just dropped a Youtube video on the auction. The '69 Sandcast can be seen on the block around the 7:00 minute mark. The selling price will shock you. Decide for yourself if it's not one and the same.
Oct 23, 2026 · 00:25
I’m sure the owner will chime in with some history and provinance details as well as the restoration details. It would be nice to see the “wrinkle” inside the gas tank as well as some videos.
