Basic information and history

The Honda CB750 is an icon in the motorcycle world and is often called the first true superbike. With its four-cylinder in-line engine and groundbreaking design, it set new standards when it was launched. This particular example from 1978 belongs to the last model year of the CB750 before the major changes. This makes it particularly sought after among collectors and enthusiasts.

This CB750 has 16,604 km on the odometer, and the mileage can be verified. It has had 5 previous owners and is significantly more powerful than previous versions – a whopping 73 hp compared to the previous 64 hp. The bike is reportedly very well maintained and stands out as a classic example of Honda engineering from the 1970s.

Fun fact: The model is known to be the last model year before the CB750 underwent major changes, and the fact that this motorcycle is very well maintained makes it extra interesting for those who want to own a Japanese legend in unusually good condition.
