Introduced in 1960, the CB72 retained the basic layout of the preceding C70/C71 but with wet sump lubrication and a gearbox-mounted clutch. In addition, the sporting CB changed to a 180-degree crankshaft and twin carburettors and used a tubular spine frame instead of the pressed-steel chassis of the tourers. Producing 24bhp at a then-stratospheric 9,000rpm, and weighing only 340lb, the CB72 possessed an excellent power-to-weight ratio endowing it with performance challenging that of many British 500s. Currently displaying a total of 1,322 miles on the odometer, this CB72 is believed to be an older restoration with some cosmetic deterioration since. Running when purchased from 'Historic Honda Collection' member Christopher Bancroft, and last taxed in March 2002, the machine has not been ridden since acquisition and will require re-commissioning before further use. Accompanying paperwork includes DVLA correspondence; expired MoTs; and old/current V5C documents.
