Un Honda CB750 K1 restaurado más antiguo
Procedente de una colección privada
Enviado de fábrica a Estados Unidos
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 had been adopted by the time that the K1 version arrived in September 1970. Visually distinguished by a new seat, black painted airbox and revised side panels, the newcomer remained in production until March 1972 achieving some 77, 000 sales.
Supplied new to America, this CB750 K1 arrived on these shores some twelve years ago. Extensively restored by a previous keeper, it has been on static display as part of the vendor’s motorcycle collection for the last eighteen months or so. Ridden regularly prior to that, the Honda will require recommissioning prior to being placed back on the road. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document.
