The Honda Motor Co. was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest producer of bikes in the world, going on to manufacture over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other powered products. The celebrated inline four-cylinder CB750/4 was launched in 1969 to great acclaim and laid down the blueprint for the modern day superbike, with a lighter-weight 500cc little brother following soon after, resurrecting memories of Mike Hailwood's Grand Prix bike of the late 1960s.


The vendor purchased this Honda CB500/4 K3 for his motorcycle collection, and once it was home he went through it as per his custom. He sorted out a few little issues and got it running very well after the carburettors were cleared out. It is now being sold due to the dissolution of the collection and is offered with a current V5C.
