• Notes:
  The Honda CB 750, named in Discovery Channels Greatest Motorbikes ever, exhibited in the The Art of the Motorcycle exhibition at the Guggenheim, and in the UK National Motor Museum. The CB established the transverse, overhead cam, inline 4 as the dominant sports bike layout. It was designed for the US market after much research by Soichiro Honda with US dealers, and it sold worldwide, 400,000 all up from 1969 through to 2003 in its various K,F and A iterations. When the CB was released it was the first bike to have a SOHC layout and a front disc brake, this provided a significant advantage over its competitors. It was well designed, reliable, had low vibration, and was rider friendly with electric start and kill switches. The sandcast is the first iteration of the CB, thought to have had the engine cases, head, and barrel made in sandcast dies to enable Honda’ production team to beat Kawasaki to the market. Around 7400 of these are believed to have been produced. A must have for the serious collector, this example is running and has keys.
