The Appeal

The Honda CB750 is widely regarded as one of the most important motorcycles ever produced, having redefined expectations for performance, reliability and refinement upon its arrival in the late 1960s. Its inline four-cylinder engine, front disc brake and electric starter set a new benchmark that the rest of the industry was quick to follow, and today it remains one of the most sought-after Japanese classics of its era.

This 1972 example is reported as entirely original with no modifications, having changed hands between only two registered previous owners before being acquired by the current owner in 2018. It presents paintwork that looks good, and the seller describes the motorcycle as being in very good overall condition. Mechanically, it has benefited from recent work as detailed below. Registered as a classic vehicle in France with matching frame and engine numbers noted, this is an interesting opportunity to acquire an honest and well-maintained example of Honda's famous 750.

BEFORE YOU BUY

This sale is subject to Car & Classic's terms and conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also accept the following:

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means that consumer rights arising from European consumer protection legislation do not apply. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic's terms and conditions.

✓ We require that non-refundable fees are paid if you are the successful winner of the auction or your offer is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and terms and conditions for specific rates.

✓ This vehicle is "sold as seen", on an "as is, where is" basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are provided for guidance only and it is customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle before purchase for your own peace of mind.

✓ VAT is included in the buyer's deposit. VAT may or may not be included in the final offer or bid price, as specified in the listing.

✓ We want the transaction to run smoothly, just as you do, and that's why cars and motorcycles registered in the UK and sold on Car & Classic are subject to an HPI check to verify that they have no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and are not subject to a financial charge, allowing you to bid with confidence.

✓ We also check whether vehicles are registered as written off as a result of a total loss claim at the time the listing is placed on Car & Classic and we provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to help you. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle's status and it is always helpful to carry out a full vehicle history check before making an offer on it.

✓ Buyers are responsible for collection or delivery of the vehicle. Importing vehicles may incur additional customs duties and import taxes. If you wish, we can recommend a third-party transport company that can assist you. For more details and to speak to the team, email auctions@carandclassic.com.
