Nine years after introducing the revolutionary four-cylinder CB750 superbike to a stunned world, Honda moved the concept forward in the shape of the CB750K. A totally new design, the CB750K brought Honda's Grand Prix-developed twin-overhead-cam, four-valves-per-cylinder technology to road bikes for the first time. Styling was up-to-the-minute, but there was a welcome return to the four-pipe exhaust system of the 1969 original.
Robin Spring tells us that this Honda CB750K racer won its class at Macau in 1983 ridden by Colin Marshall, in a race won overall by Ron Haslam riding a Honda NS500. The one-off swinging arm and exhaust were made by a Lotus engineer, while it is believed that the frame came from a machine previously registered 'PEX 567W'. Restored by renowned specialist Nigel Everett and not run since, the machine will require recommissioning before returning to the track. There are no documents with this Lot. A spare cylinder head with two camshafts and some valves and springs is included in the sale. Potentially great fun at track-days or a relatively affordable entry into CRMC or British Historic Racing series. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to the motorcycle's completeness and mechanical condition prior to bidding. Sold strictly as viewed.
