The introduction of Honda's seminal CB750 at the Tokyo show in October 1968 profoundly altered the motorcycle market elevating motorcyclist's expectations to a higher level. The new model did not introduce any new innovations but was innovative in introducing them as a package. Four cylinder power-plants, electric starting, 12 volt electrical systems and disc brakes had all been seen before, as had 120 mph performance and oil tight engines but no machine before the CB750 had incorporated all of these features at the same time.
The example offered was first registered in February 1972. The paintwork and brightwork are original and the machine is described as being mechanically ok in all respects. It has recently benefitted from new tyres, electrical components, including the key together with a new seat and centre stand.
