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. 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. Just how far ahead of the game it was may be gauged from the fact that the first significant face-lift did not arrive until 1975, in the form of the CB750F Super Sport, a café racer-styled variant with a four-into-one exhaust and rear disc brake. "It feels more compact, more manageable and, hallelujah - it handles," enthused Bike magazine.
Acquired by the late owner in July 2006, the machine offered here is an example of the short-lived F2 model. Produced during 1978/79 only, the latter featured ComStar wheels, triple disc brakes, twin exhausts, and a black-finished engine that produced more power than before.
The late owner was a lifelong Honda enthusiast who restored this machine himself using mostly new-old-stock parts where available. The Honda has been dry stored in a cocoon for the last few years. Following a period of inactivity, this motorcycle will require recommissioning and/or restoration to a greater or lesser extent before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's history, originality, authenticity, mechanical condition, mileage and completeness (or otherwise) prior to bidding. Offered with old/current V5/V5C registration documents and 12 expired MoTs issued between 1995 and 2009.
