Basic information and History
A unique opportunity to acquire one of the early built CB750s. This example was produced as early as between the second and third week in the factory and has frame number 180. The first 200 motorcycles to be produced received e.g. details that are handmade and 19 liter gas tank. They also have the engine block cast in gravity moulds and are therefore called Sandcast, contrary to the later production which were diecast. The first 7000-7500 motorcycles were produced using this method. Reportedly, frame number 180 is the fourth oldest specimen in Europe.
- Honda CB750 Sandcast with frame no. 180
- The world's first "superbike"
- Completely renovated to original condition
- Fourth oldest specimen in Europe
This specimen was imported from the USA, Tennessee in 2012 and came in parts. The current owner bought the motorcycle in 2018 and has since completely renovated the motorcycle to absolute new condition and it looks exactly as it did when it left the factory in 1969. The motorcycle is of course registered and legal to ride. During the renovation, there has been enormous focus on 100% originality down to the smallest details. The colour is the amazing Candy Ruby Red. Renovation was completed in 2020 and since then it has only driven 100 km.
