The CB750 was the first modern four-cylinder machine from a mainstream manufacturer, and the term superbike was coined to describe it. Adding to the bike's value were its electric starter, kill switch, dual mirrors, easily maintained valves, and overall smoothness and low vibration both under way and at a standstill.
Our vendor states that it was original when he bought it in 2017 and he has slowly converted it over the years. Converted from the original by DRS in Hessle. Front forks are Yamaha R6 as well as the yokes with gators for period look. Wheels have larger chrome spokes and period tyres fitted. Custom headlight and handle bar fittings. The engine was replaced but has not been shown on the V5 and is believed to have an 810 Wisco top end. Powder coated forks and engine covers. Carbs standard but bigger jets. Airbox by Cognito Moto from the USA. Custom rear sets, seat, and paint work. Exhaust black ceramic by Carpys in the USA. New rear shocks and gold coloured rear sprocket and chain.
