Introduced at the Tokyo Motorcycle show in November 1968 and
launched in the UK in April 1969, the CB 750 was a groundbreaking
design with its 736 cc, cross-frame SOHC four-cylinder engine,
five-speed gearbox, electric start, and front disc brake. Four
carburetors led to four separate exhausts.
Just as appealing as its design was its cost. At just $1,495 MSRP,
the CB 750 had a $400 price advantage over its two- and
three-cylinder rivals from Great Britain, and in the next 10 years
448,900 examples would be built before the advent of the DOHC
engine. Save a few electrical gremlins, the CB 750 also had
bulletproof reliability, a trait that few really expected at the
time. The American motorcycle market would never be the same.
Back on the road, the CB 750 was such a huge success in sales that
Honda had to alter their production process. While the early bikes
had dull "sandcast" engine casings, later ones had smooth die-cast
parts. Predictably, it's the early bikes that now command the
highest prices.
This early Honda CB750 is one of the finest we have seen and is a
truly collector quality example. Spending the last few years in a
museum, the bike has been cared for to the highest degree. This
CB750 is at the top of the market, and rightfully so as it is at
the top of the quality benchmark. This is the CB750 you've lusted
for since its unveiling in 1969!
