Fifty 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 Tokyo Show in October 1968. 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.

Presented in generally excellent original condition, this CB750 was imported from California, USA circa 2013 and first registered in the UK on 1st August 2016. The current vendor is its sole UK owner. Accompanying documentation consists of DVLA and HMR&C correspondence, (copy) State of California Certificate of Title, SORN paperwork, two MoTs (most recent expired April 2017), and a V5C Registration Certificate. A Clymer service and repair manual is included in the sale.
