The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The CBR in-line four-cylinder sports bike range was launched in the 1980s and has gone on to win many world championships and TT races in a production based series. The CBR750F was made primarily for the Japanese Domestic Market that had a limit of 750cc at the time and was distinctive with its gear driven cams as opposed to chain driven cams on the more common CBR600 and CBR1000 models.
This CBR750F Hurricane, being offered without a reserve, is a model that was never officially imported into the UK, with most production staying in Japan. The bike is unusual for being an in-line four with gear driven cams, something Honda tended to use only on their V-fours. Bought by the vendor as a future restoration project, his loss of workshop and storage space means he is now having to let it go to a new home. He ran the bike briefly when he bought it but it has been stood for a while so will need thorough recommissioning. It comes supplied with a spare set of bodywork and some MPH clocks as well as a current V5C. A rare and technically unusual bike to either restore to standard or form the basis of an interesting project.
