Honda CB750 | 1972 Highlights: – 736 cc SOHC inline-four engine – 21,396 miles indicated on odometer – Red paintwork with Honda tank badges and gold pinstriping – Four-into-four exhaust with chrome silencers – All import duties and VAT paid The professional seller offers for sale this 1972 Honda CB750, powered by a 736 cc SOHC inline-four engine. Dressed in red with the classic chrome HONDA tank badges and fine gold pinstriping, this CB750 has the broad, purposeful stance that made the model a legend. The odometer reads 21,396 miles. Its signature four-into-four exhaust system with four chrome silencers, the finned air-cooled engine with its row of carburettors, the twin round instruments above the Honda warning light console, the chrome fenders and the spoked wheels with front disc brake together create an unmistakably early 1970s appearance. The motorcycle has been standing and, according to the seller, needs to be recommissioned before it returns to the road. It is offered with Canadian documentation, and all import duties and VAT have been paid. It presents a strong basis for an enthusiast who wants to own one of the most important motorcycles of its era and bring it back into regular use. When Honda unveiled the CB750 at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1968, the motorcycle world changed overnight. Here was a mass-produced machine with a transverse overhead-cam inline-four, four carburettors, a five-speed gearbox, electric starting and a hydraulic front disc brake, features that until then belonged to racing machinery or did not exist on production motorcycles at all. With its smooth and powerful 736 cc engine, the CB750 offered performance that rivalled the fastest European bikes while bringing Japanese reliability and refinement, and it is widely regarded as the first true superbike. Its success reshaped the industry and set the template for decades of four-cylinder motorcycles that followed. Early CB750 models, with their distinctive four-pipe exhaust and clean period detailing, remain among the most iconic and collectible Japanese motorcycles ever built, valued by riders and collectors around the world.
