1978 Honda 736cc CB750F1
Registration no. CPP 342T
Frame no. CB750F-1040064
Engine no. CB750E-2562642

In 1969 Honda released their ground-breaking, four-cylinder, overhead cam 750. This machine ran through the seventies achieving much publicity and, although copied by others, was arguably never bettered. In the mid-70s Honda updated the styling to produce the CB750F model alongside the CB750K. Acquired by the deceased owner in 2005, CPP 342T has been used sparingly during the present ownership, and displays 53,125 miles on the odometer. It was last MoT'd in 2015/16 (certificate on file) with a mileage of 53,111. Invoices and notes in the document file suggest that it was restored during the period 1993 to 1995. It is presently SORNed, and appears to have been standing for a few years, kept in dry storage. It will, therefore, require some degree of re-commissioning. Documentation comprises a current V5C, an old-type V5C, a quantity of expired MoT certificates, the aforementioned invoices, and sundry papers. Key present.
