Honda CB750 | 1973 Highlights: – 736 cc inline-four engine – 45,650 miles indicated on odometer – Brown metallic finish with gold and black tank striping – Front disc brake with chrome spoked wheels – Import duties and VAT already paid The professional seller offers for sale this 1973 Honda CB750, powered by a 736 cc inline-four engine. Finished in a rich brown metallic with gold and black pinstriped tank graphics, chrome fenders and the unmistakable 750 Four side covers, this CB750 carries all the visual cues that made the model an icon of the early seventies. The odometer indicates 45,650 miles. The bike retains its classic layout with twin round instruments, the Honda warning light console, a black pleated dual seat with grab rail and a front disc brake paired with chrome spoked wheels. According to the seller, the CB750 will need to be recommissioned before use, which makes it an appealing starting point for an enthusiast who enjoys bringing a classic back to life. It is supplied with its Canadian papers, and the seller confirms that all import duties and VAT have already been paid. When Honda unveiled the CB750 Four in 1968, it changed motorcycling overnight. Here was a mass-produced machine with a transversely mounted overhead-cam inline-four, a hydraulic front disc brake, an electric starter and four gleaming exhaust pipes, offered at a price that the established British and European marques simply could not match. The press quickly called it the first superbike, and the term has stuck ever since. The CB750 combined smooth, abundant performance with Japanese reliability and ease of ownership, setting the template for the large-capacity motorcycles that followed for decades. The K-series models of the early seventies refined the original concept while keeping its character intact, and today the early CB750 is one of the most recognised and sought-after Japanese classics, valued by collectors for its historical importance and loved by riders for its sound, its presence and its enduring usability.
