The Attractions
Honda played a pioneering role in the production of transverse in-line four-cylinder engines with overhead cam timing in the motorbike industry. These large engines gave these powerful motorbikes an unmistakable look, and their smooth power delivery and great reliability were light years away from the big V-twins of the time and clearly represented the future of motorcycling. In fact, the CB 750 was so successful that the Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan included it among the top 240 achievements of Japanese automotive technology.
This 1973 example was carefully maintained and rarely used for short trips and rallies in the summer months. The engine and carburetion have been checked recently, ensuring their efficiency. It has also been repainted, and new exhausts and chrome have been installed, greatly improving its appearance.
With overhaul valid until August 2025, this Honda is ready to be ridden and enjoyed.
