1972 Honda CB 500 Four

Highlights

  • Recent comprehensive refurbishment
  • Evocative 'Candy Green' period livery
  • Period quad-muffler exhaust system

The Appeal

It must have seemed crazy at the time: A SOHC four-cylinder transverse-engined motorcycle?! yet Honda showed the world that not only could such a thing be done, it could also become one of the greatest motorcycles ever made.

This 1972 Honda CB 500 Four is an early specimen of this incredible breed. Offered in highly original order and reportedly subject to a recent comprehensive overhaul, this 'Candy Green' masterpiece awaits a new owner.
