  1973 Honda CB750

  Nowadays, when somebody mentions the term "superbike", the first

  motorbike models that might spring to mind include the Suzuki GSX-R

  1000 K5, Kawasaki ZX-10R, Honda Fireblade, Yamaha YZF-R1, Aprilia

  RSV-R, or if you're feeling a little more old school, the Suzuki

  Hayabusa GSX 1300R. But before any of these powerful two-wheelers

  took to the streets, there's one bike that paved their path and

  ushered in the age of the superbike - the Honda CB750. The Honda

  CB750 was finally released in America in 1969, with a retail price

  of $1,495 - well below the $2,800 to $4,000 price tag of current

  large motorbikes being sold in the U.S. Such was the success of the

  CB750's release that, though an initial 1,500 yearly units were

  forecast for production, this swiftly leapt to a monthly figure,

  and later increased to a whopping 3,000 units per month. After its

  launch, the Honda CB750 fast became a favourite in America, Japan,

  and indeed the rest of the world, and to this day it remains high

  on many "best of" motorbike lists. With its four-cylinder, single

  overhead cam, it remains a classic ride, and bikes continue to

  garner high sale and auction prices today due to their historical

  significance and limited availability.

  As Monte Python would say "And now for something completely

  different". For consignment, the first of its kind superbike if you

  will, in all its orange metal flake original glory. Purchased by

  our consignor after seeing it sitting in a backyard and

  unfortunatelysuffering with a bout of Lyme disease. Our consignor

  couldn't drive at the time so he took it upon himself to rebuild

  the bike from the ground up. Every moving part was cleaned and

  degreased and is now ready for another lifetime of enjoyment. All

  metal/plastic surfaces are very good, and thanks to recent going

  over the engine kick starts on the first try when you get the fuel

  and ignition turned on!

  Toe the shifter down one time and it immediately clicks into gear,

  all it needs is a twist of the throttle and you're off! (Like a

  prom dress...if you will!). Get her up to speed and toe down into

  the second gear and now you have a feel for the mechanicals, (5

  gears of forward momentum are here so keeping up with traffic is a

  breeze). The 736cc Single Cylinder OHV transverse 4 cylinder engine

  barely breaks a sweat and with a gleamed chrome bezel around the

  headlight, even an evening ride is possible. This 4 popper is fed

  by 4-1bbl Keihin 28mm carburetors and for the exhale we see single

  chrome pipes coming from each cylinder and culminating into dual

  dual exhaust on each side. A standard black vinyl seat provides

  room for too and the chrome fenders both front and rear along with

  the chromed suspension give just the right look baby bear. A

  telescoping fork and rear swing arm suspension soak up most of the

  imperfections in the road and the disc front and drum rear brakes

  bring this hog to a stop easily. Add in the 19 and 18" chrome spoke

  wire wheels and I'm ready to cruise Venice Beach. All this was with

  my adult 235lb bulk sitting atop the showroom looking wide and

  long, buzzing around the Classic Auto Mall Parking lot, (AKA the

  CAM Racetrack!).

  A fab example of this bike, runs great, looks showroom new. A

  totally fun ride for kids and adults. I imagine myself in a beach

  community and riding this around constantly, it would definitely be

  a hoot..." If the chain don't break".
