The Appeal
When a bike is named by Cycle magazine as “the most sophisticated production bike ever”, selected for inclusion in the Guggenheim Museum’s Art of the Motorcycle exhibition and ranked by the Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan as one of the 240 Landmarks of Japanese Automotive Technology, you know it must be something pretty special.
And so it is. When Honda launched its CB750 at the 1968 Tokyo Show, the motorcycling world was taken aback. Never was a motorcycle so fast (it would hit 120mph), comfortable and well-mannered, and yet still within reach of most enthusiasts. An overhead-cam transverse four-cylinder with twin carburettors was unheard of in a motorcycle at the time. In truth, it really was something of a revolution in motorcycling. Anyone who appreciates high-quality bikes must try a CB750, and you really want the best one you can find.
We very much doubt there’s anything on the market as good as this one. The vendor has made quite a name for himself as a restorer of 1970s Japanese motorcycles, with the CB750 being a particular speciality, and this one typifies the superlative standard of his work. While the vendor typically subjects his bikes to a full mechanical and cosmetic restoration, on checking this one over, he found it to be in virtually no need of mechanical work, so it has just been cosmetically restored. Knowing the standard of his workmanship, we can comfortably say that you’ll not find a better one anywhere else.
The History and Paperwork
- Imported from the USA in 2017
- Purchased by the vendor earlier in 2022
- Subsequently subjected to a full mechanical check with carburettor rebuild, and a comprehensive cosmetic restoration with many new parts
- The Honda will be sold with its current V5C; it is presently waiting for a new one from the DVLA to reflect its colour change from red to blue
The Condition
- Attractively finished in Candy Sapphire Blue, an original factory colour
- New seat and much new chrome
- Easily good enough to win concours prizes
If you’ve already come across this vendor’s restorations, a description of this one will hardly be necessary. We shall proceed, however, for the benefit of those who haven’t. It is, simply put, as beautiful a restoration as ever you are likely to see. The vendor has completed it with the same care, attention to detail and meticulous accuracy which he applies to all his bikes, and it really shows.
We would encourage you to look through the photographs and see if you can spot a single blemish. While we can never guarantee absolute perfection, we have studied the paintwork, the frame, the chrome and all the ancillaries very closely and we cannot find a single thing to criticise, but please feel free to judge for yourselves.
If it looks brand-new, that might be because a lot of it is. Freshly repainted in the lovely Candy Sapphire Blue, it also benefits from a new seat, new badges and many new chrome parts. It also has a brand-new 341 exhaust from America which came at a cost of £1800, so we think we can truly say that no expense has been spared.
The Mechanics
- In full working order after thorough check-over
- Rebuilt carburettors
- MoTed in 2017 with no advisories
It is usually customary for the vendor to restore his bikes mechanically as well as cosmetically, but after giving this bike a thorough check, including a compression test, he decided that there was no need in this instance, and we’re inclined to trust his judgment.
While the bike has not been MoTed since 2017, when it was brought into the country, the fact that it passed then with no advisories and has covered under 2,500 miles since suggests to us that it is unlikely to have any problems. As ever, we can make no guarantees, but the expert opinion of the vendor combined with what facts we have to go on certainly give us great confidence in the bike.
Probably the most significant mechanical work the bike has received from the vendor was a complete carburettor rebuild, just to be on the safe side. We are advised that in all other respects, it is in full working order, and all ready to enjoy on the road.
Summary
If you’ve ever wondered why the CB750 is widely regarded as one of the all-time greatest motorcycles, here is your opportunity to find out. Capable of a top speed of 125mph, the CB750 will eat up the road like nothing else of its day. With a front disc brake and electric starting, it’s also an easy bike to live with and use regularly, so its reputation is entirely deserved.
Presented in the very best mechanical and cosmetic condition, we truly believe this one to be the best example on the market right now. Coming from one of Britain’s best-respected motorcycle restorers, it really does have everything going for it and, whether you want it for a collection, to show, or just to use, we’re sure it won’t disappoint.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
