2001 Aprilia Futura RST1000

In Italy, Sport, Touring by AbhiLeave a Comment

In Japan, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

Post Sale Update: This CB sold for $5,900 after 35 bids on eBay in Los Angeles, California. Honda’s CB750 is a decade-defining motorcycle for most, and this is a lovely example of the K2 with just 7,000 miles, 200 of which came after a mechanical rebuild with “all genuine Honda and/or NOS parts”.
