Fifty years on, it is hard to imagine the impact the Honda CB750 had on the motorcycling world when it was unveiled to a stunned public at the 1968 Tokyo Show. True, there had been plenty of four-cylinder motorcycles before, but these had been built in relatively small numbers and aimed at the wealthy few. Here for the first time was a mass-produced four within the financial reach of the average enthusiast, and one whose specification - overhead camshaft, disc front brake, five-speed gearbox, electric starter, etc - made the opposition look obsolete overnight. A trend-setting design of immense significance and one of the truly great classic motorcycles.
The K6 model offered here was purchased from a private owner in 2013. Having always wanted one of these, the retired vendor then embarked on a long-term restoration, completing the project in 2018. He began by stripping the machine, leaving only the engine in the frame. Components were cleaned, repainted, restored or replaced as required. The engine has been serviced and tuned, and the carburettors stripped, rebuilt and balanced. The tyres, brakes, battery, fork seals, and chain are new. Exercised on a private road in February 2019, the machine is said to ride well. Accompanying documentation consists of sundry restoration invoices and a V5C Registration Certificate.
