1978 Honda CB750 Automatic, 736cc. Registration number XUJ 159S. Frame number CB750A 7203410. Engine number B750A L720347.
Introduced to the North American market exclusively in 1976 as an addition to the CB750 line of motorcycles, the CB750A – "A" for automatic, offered easy riding via a clutchless two-speed transmission, with gears manually selected by a foot-controlled hydraulic selector. The Hondamatic name was shared with Honda cars, though mechanically the CB750A's transmission was unique. The CB750A used the same 736cc engine as the regular CB750, although detuned with lower compression, smaller carburetors, and wet sump lubrication. Often thought of as a smaller cousin of the GL1000 family of motorcycles, the detuned inline-4 delivered 47hp, plenty sufficient for leisurely cruising down pastoral country lanes or American freeways.
The motorcycle presented here has a recorded mileage of 26,984 miles, just 243 more than the mileage stated on the last MOT certificate in August 2015. Previous documentation show that it was in the State of New York in1999, but no mileage submitted as it was exempt being over ten years old. Given the overall look of the machine, one could assume that the mileage is genuine.
An unusual machine for it’s day, sold with V5C, NOVA, previous MOT and other documentation.
