Few motorcycles have had the impact of the original Honda CB750. Introduced in 1969, it helped define the modern superbike, bringing four-cylinder performance, a front disc brake, electric start, and everyday reliability together in a package that changed what riders expected from a production motorcycle.
This is an early K0-generation CB750, making it especially interesting to collectors and enthusiasts. Its frame number places it within the original K0 production range, and the engine and frame numbers are just 227 digits apart. Because Honda numbered engines and frames separately during production, closely spaced numbers like these are a desirable detail on an early CB750.
The CB750 is powered by Honda’s legendary 736cc air-cooled, single-overhead-cam inline-four, producing a claimed 67 horsepower and paired with a 5-speed transmission. It also features a hydraulic front disc brake, electric start, and the unmistakable sound and appearance of four individual exhaust pipes.
This example retains the classic Honda four-into-four exhaust configuration, using genuine Honda OEM pipes from a later production year, identified by their HM341 markings. It’s an important distinction for collectors who appreciate originality and period-correct details.
The Candy Ruby Red paint, chrome, seat, and instruments are all in excellent condition for a motorcycle of this age. The bike has clearly been well cared for, and the overall finish is impressive for a machine that’s now more than five decades old. It starts, runs, shifts, and stops as expected.
What makes this CB750 special is the combination of its early production history, closely numbered engine and frame, classic styling, and excellent overall condition. It’s the kind of motorcycle that deserves a place in a collection but can still be enjoyed for the experience that made the original CB750 so important.
