This bike has undergone a complete 100% nut and bolt restoration by The Honda Doctor, Phil White. Phil's Cycle opened their doors in 1967, and have serviced, customized and restored Honda motorcycles for 45 yrs. No time or expense was spared to make this into a beautiful museum quality bike, with the reliability of a Honda. Although the odometer reads 13,316 Miles, this is essentially a new bike with less than 50 shakedown miles The motor has been completely rebuilt. The motor has been disassembled, cases painted, and all bearings, seals,rings, and gaskets replaced with correct OEM Honda parts when available and with the highest quality replacement parts when OEM parts were unavailable. Carburetors have been rebuilt and all replaceable parts have been replaced. Although you probably won't, there is no reason why you couldn't ride this bike daily.

I've seen a few CR750s go through the auctions in Las Vegas and Daytona, but none have been as nice as this one. I am not the owner of this bike; however, I have watched the restoration of this bike for the last two years, and Phil asked me to sell it for him (as I have several other blue chip CB750s). This bike has not been offered for sale in the past, and it is inmy humble opinion, the is the nicest CR750 I've ever seen. You've eaten off plates that are not as clean as this motor. There is a reasonable reserve on this bike, it is below the selling price of similar machines at several auctions, and of course, there is no Buyer's Premium. This is an investment grade bike that should continue to increase in value. Please feel free to call Two-Four-Eight-673-6247 or email if you have specific questions about this bike.

We can recommend a professional, reasonable, and reliable shipper (Wolverine Cycle). International buyers will need to contact a broker to facilitate the shipment of the bike, again, we recommend Wolverine Cycle, as we've transported many bikes with them, and had nothing but good experiences, unlike the experiences we've had with some other transporters.
