Bought the bike last year for nostalgic reasons; owned one of these back in the 80's. Cleaned her up cosmetically to where there's only a few nicks on the gas tank. Replaced the carburetor boots, front fork bushings, tires, plugs, added a shield and crash bar and a gel cell battery; don't have to worry about acid spills etc. Since I've had her, she's been garage kept. She's very clean and runs great! Original owners manual, shop manual and Clymer book included. This bike is recognized as a milestone for Honda's successful introduction of a transverse, overhead camshaft inline four-cylinder engine that has ever since been the dominant sport bike configuration. Cycle magazine called the CB750 "the most sophisticated production bike ever" upon its introduction. Cycle World called it a masterpiece, highlighting Honda's painstaking durability testing, the bike's 120 mph (190 km/h) top speed, the fade-free performance of the braking, the comfortable ride and excellent instrumentation. The bike offers electric starter, kill switch, dual mirrors, flashing turn signals, easily maintained valves and overall smoothness and freedom from vibration both underway and at a standstill. The CB750 is recognized as the four-cylinder sport bike that had a lasting impact and is often called the first superbike. The model is included in the AMA Hall of Fame Classic Bikes, the Discovery Channel's "Greatest Motorbikes Ever, and was in The Art of the Motorcycle exhibition, and is in the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu.
