The Honda Motor Company 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 motorcycle manufacturer in the world. They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The legendary CB750/4 was launched in 1969 to great acclaim and laid down the blueprint for the modern day superbike.
This beautifully presented early K0 model has been part of a private collection of 1970s superbikes for the last 11 years. Authentically restored using genuine Honda parts where ever possible including a full set of genuine Honda indicators, it has been fitted with a new wiring harness, a modern combined rectifier/regulator for reliability (original parts are supplied with the machine), new coils, points and condensers together with a new battery. The carbs have been completely overhauled and the correct mirrors for early Hondas are fitted. The machine has stainless steel fittings where possible, including all engine cross head bolts, engine mountings and full rear wheel spindle and chain adjusters (original replated fasteners are included).
The machine comes with a Yamiya seat sourced from Japan at great expense and the wheels have been rebuilt with DID wheel rims. New chain, sprockets and cush drive rubbers for rear hub have all been replaced and front and rear brakes fully overhauled. The machine comes with the lower K1 handlebars fitted with a K1 master cylinder hose and the shorter cables, however the original handlebars, longer master cylinder hose and cables come with the machine.
Currently fitted with an aftermarket exhaust system and Hagon rear shocks, the original Honda dampers and a genuine Honda 'HM300' exhaust system will be refitted once the bike comes to auction with the vendor keeping the pattern parts for future projects. There is the original toolkit under the seat, an owner's handbook and the bike is UK registered on a current V5C.
