This 1975 Honda CB750 is in EXCELLENT shape. Garage kept and it definitely shows. Finding the Original Superbike in condition as good as this is going to be hard. We got the bike as a trade-in and it was taken from storage directly to us. Fresh battery, CARBS rebuilt as soon as we got her, and a new set of tires before I enjoyed a few trips on her. She jumps and seems just as nimble as a newer model, and climbs to 75mph strong. She had plenty left and felt strong the whole way. I will update pictures from our tech rebuilding the carbs, and recharging the K&N Air Filter as he reassembled it after the carbs were cleaned up. Feel free to call us with any questions you may have, or to see her in person if you are close enough to do so. The auction has a low reserve, and the next owner will have more than a showpiece, this bike gets up and goes! You won't be disappointed in this bike for any reason. Good Luck! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Honda of Japan introduced the CB750 motorcycle to the US and European markets in 1969 after experiencing success with their smaller motorcycles. The bike was targeted directly at the US market after Honda officials, including founder Soichiro Honda, repeatedly met with US dealers and understood the opportunity for a larger bike.[10] Under development for a year,[11] the CB750 offered two unprecedented features, a front disc brake and a transverse straight-4 engine with an overhead camshaft, neither of which was previously available on a mainstream, affordable production bike. These two features, along with the introductory price of US$1,495[12] (US$8,956 in current money), gave the CB750 a considerable advantage over its competition, particularly its British rivals. Cycle magazine called the CB750 "the most sophisticated production bike ever" upon its introduction.[12] 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.[11] The CB750 was the first modern four-cylinder machine from a mainstream manufacturer,[13] and the term superbike was coined to describe it.[7][3] The bike offered other important features that added to its compelling value: 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; later models (1991 on) included maintenance-free hydraulic valves. On the other hand, the bike was difficult to get on its center stand and tended to throw chain oil onto its muffler. Unable to gauge demand for the new bike accurately, Honda limited its initial investment in the production dies for the CB750 by using a technique called permanent mold casting (often erroneously referred to as sandcasting) rather than diecasting for the engines[citation needed] – unsure of the bike's reception. The bike remained in the Honda lineup for ten years, with sales totaling over 400,000 in its life span.[14] The CB750 is sometimes referred to as a Universal Japanese Motorcycle or UJM.[3][15] The Discovery Channel ranked the Honda CB750 third among the top ten greatest motorbikes of all time.[8] The 1975 CB750F had a more streamlined look, thanks in part to a 4-into-1 exhaust and cafe style seat with fiberglass rear. Other changes included the use of a front disc brake and a lighter crankshaft and flywheel.On Jun-17-11 at 16:02:20 PDT, seller added the following information: Motorcycle Transportation Tools powered by Shipping Price Estimator Delivery Zipcode: uShip is the first and largest auction- style marketplace for shipping and transportation services.
