Unveiled at the October 1968 Tokyo Motor Show, the Honda CB750 was a landmark design that brought four cylinder motorcycles into the mainstream. Faster, smoother and more reliable than its European sports bike opposition, the Japanese machine was also more technologically advanced with a hydraulic front disc brake and five-speed gearbox. Early examples featured ‘sandcast’ crankcases but an improved ‘diecast’ design was soon adopted. Arriving in 1973, the K4 derivative could be had in Flake Sunrise Orange, Freedom Green Metallic and Boss Maroon Metallic. Further visually distinguished by a chromed upper fork, black headlight housing, and larger taillight / turn signals, the Honda also featured an improved twin cable throttle system and achieved some 60, 000 sales.
Finished in Flake Sunrise Orange, this particular example has benefited from a very thorough restoration whilst in the vendor’s care. Details of the thousands of pounds spent on parts for the project are included within the accompanying paperwork file. Ridden a mere forty-five or so post-completion miles, the CB750 K4 remains highly presentable. increasing work commitments and the desire for a smaller, lighter Honda mean that ‘WWE 910L’ has not been exercised since last summer. Offered for sale with V5C and paperwork file.
