Honda introduced the world to the four-cylinder CB750 at the Tokyo Motor Show in October of 1968. Considered by many to be the first “superbike”, it was an absolute game-changer of a motorcycle.
Best of all, the CB750 didn’t cost an arm and a leg. Despite features like a 296mm front hydraulic disc brake, five-speed gearbox, quality lighting, electric starter, and industry-defining reliability, it was a shockingly economical bike. The CB also got a compact five-speed transmission with a wet multi-plate clutch, hydraulic fork, dual rear shocks, and a rear drum brake. Weighing in at 495 lbs, the CB750 and its tubular steel duplex frame wasn’t exactly light, but the powerful engine put down 67 hp at 8,500 rpm and was capable of reaching speeds of up to 125 mph.
This example is VIN: RC012202845. The seller acquired the bike one year ago.
The odometer shows 5.6 miles, which represents the total mileage covered since the bike was rebuilt. However, true mileage is unknown.
Maintenance:
The seller states that he spent six months transforming a stock CB750C into the custom you see before you today. He notes that he replaced the brake pads, the chain, the battery, the bearings, the clutch, and the tires as part of the build. Additionally, he rebuilt the carbs with new jets.
