1975 CB750K5 SOHC *THE ORIGINAL SUPERBIKE* for saleLess than 2000 miles!!Clean TitleUp to date on inspectionFull upgrade/mechanic history providedFront/top end completely overhauled at the beginning of the summer. All brand new parts completely cleaned up. We, aka my mechanic specializing in rebuilding/servicing classic motor-works, literally took it all apart replaced most of the parts. We even cut down the fenders into a more bobby, "cafe" aesthetic.Brand new charging system working in tip-top condition. Thats a new battery, new rotor, new alternator, new stator, spark plugs redone, and also all wires/fuses completely redone.Aftermarket Headlight/tailight/turn signals/hazards all "cafe racer" style. All new bulbs recently placed.Currently has an aftermarket speedometer in the photos, but can provide the original OEM speedometer/odometer combo.Understand that 1975 bikes of this model are extremely rare, and at under 2,000 miles its basically nowhere to be found. On top of that, half a year’s worth of consistent love and labor have gone into making it as good as any bike on the road today. Asking price is $6,500 but i'm very open to negotiation. I'm not riding at all nowadays, so I'd like to give it to someone who will. It's an awesome bike at any level. Although the weight's a bit heavy if this is your very first time ever riding a motorcycle, this is THE bike that will turn you into a rider.History of the Honda CB750 Between 1968 and 1969 the R&D team at Honda set about creating a transverse, overhead camshaft, inline 4-cylinder engine to power this new bike. This engine was mated to an all new 5-speed transmission, the engine was fitted with 4 carburettors (one for each cylinder) and was capable of 68hp, 44ft-lbs of torque, a top speed of over 120mph and a 1/4 mile time of 13 seconds. These specifications were revolutionary. When the bike was first put on sale in 1969 the word "superbike" was coined to describe it, it cost just $1,495 USD (~$9,500 in 2013) which gave it a huge price advantage over its rivals and it came as standard with hydraulic disc brakes, a reliable engine, excellent handling and enough power to beat almost anything on 2 wheels (or 4). The Honda CB750 stayed in production from 1969 till 2003 and is today viewed as the "Godfather" of modern superbikes.
