1972 Honda CB750
Frame no. CB750-2010607
Engine no. CB750E-2016009

• Swiss registration document

Some 50-plus years on, it is hard to imagine the impact Honda's CB750 had when it was unveiled to a stunned audience at the Tokyo Show in October 1968. 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. Purchased by the vendor some time ago, this CB750 has been kept in a climate-controlled environment as part of a collection. Used sparingly, the machine displays a total of 79,105 kilometres on the odometer and is presented in restored condition. Offered with a Swiss registration document and one key.

Avec quelque cinquante années de recul, il est difficile d'imaginer l'effet qu'a produit la Honda CB750 lorsqu'elle fut dévoilée à un public sidéré, au Salon de Tokyo d'octobre 1968. C'était la première quatre-cylindres de grande série qui était à la portée de la bourse de l'amateur moyen et dont les caractéristiques (arbre à cames en tête, frein avant à disque, boîte à cinq rapports, démarreur électrique, etc.) faisaient instantanément paraître ses concurrentes démodées.

Achetée il y a quelque temps par son actuel propriétaire, cette CB750 a été conservée au sein de sa collection maintenue sous atmosphère contrôlée. Utilisée avec parcimonie, elle affiche 79 105 km au compteur et son état bénéficie d'une restauration. Elle est munie de sa carte grise suisse et d'une clé.
