After Honda introduced the CB750 K0 motorcycle engineering immediately leapt forward a generation. The CB750 provided refinement and civility that was previously unheard of and it immediately became the standard against which all others were judged. Mass-produced in quantity it also provided technological superiority at an affordable price. The power output of the 736cc four was a moderate 67 horsepower at 8,000 rpm, but this was still considerably more than the 58 horsepower of the rival BSA and Triumph triples. It was also enough to provide a top speed in the region of 200 km/h, making it one of the fastest bikes on the market. Compared to the British competition it also ran more smoothly, stopped much better, and could accelerate through a standing 400 metres in 13 seconds time after time without destroying itself. In September 1970 the considerably revised CB750 K1 replaced the CB750. Updates included a new seat, and black air cleaner box. Production increased to 77,000 before the CB750 K2 replaced it in March 1972. It took a seasoned expert to tell the difference between the CB750K1 and K2, but visually there were chrome-plated headlight brackets and a new instrument panel with four warning lights, borrowed from the CB500. A quieter exhaust system was undoubtedly responsible for a drop in performance, but Honda was on a roll, and production still totalled 63,500.

This particular bike was imported from the USA in 2016 and the current owner has had it since 2023. All the paperwork and bike serial numbers indicate it to be a 1972 K2 model finished in Flake Sunrise Orange which was only available on this year of bike. The bike starts, runs and rides absolutely spot on and the vendor has kept it MOT’d even though it is registered as historic and no longer legally required one. It comes with 2 keys, original owner’s manual, previous MOTs, parts manual and some classic magazines, full UK V5 and is clear on HPi.
