Fifty-plus 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 CB750 is highly sought after today by collectors. This Honda CB750K2 had already been fully restored when it was purchased by the current owner in 2019 (there are documents on file dating from the previous ownership detailing parts fitted, etc). Last run in May 2021, the machine is described by the private vendor as in excellent condition in every respect, benefiting from a recent service and new battery. Sadly, lack of secure storage has forced its sale. Accompanying paperwork consists of a V5C Registration Certificate and sundry restoration bills.
