Description

Summary:Offered for sale is my stunning and low mileage 1975 Honda CB750 K5 in superb original unrestored condition throughout. I'm offering several other classic Hondas for sale at the moment. as I simply have too many bikes in my personal collection. Please see my other listings for more details.  A bit about me: I'm not a dealer. just a genuine Honda enthusiast who has a passion for SOHC4 Honda cb's.  My background is in combustion engine design and development and I'm a fully qualified mechanical engineer with 20 years engine development experience. I've bought and sold several cb750's over the years and have a passion for these bikes. I have several cb750's in my personal collection and firmly believe these were the best bike of the 70's bar none. History of the bike: I bought this motorcycle from the original owner in the US last year (via a close friend).  This bike is in stunning condition and has covered 12. 34 miles from new and its condition reflects this. Many of the original factory yellow paint markings are still intact which tend to back up the genuine low mileage. Details of the bike:The VIN number is CB750-2534456  and the engine number is  CB750E-2416845 (matching numbers for a K5) The paintwork overall is superb and is original factory Honda Planet Blue metallic paint. There are a couple of very minor pint dents on the top of the tank - I've not attempted to mess with or rectify the original paint finish. If the asking price is met I will have these taken out by paintless dent removal (PDR). Personally I would leave them. The engine covers and fork lowers have been polished to a very high standard.  The exhausts are brand new HM341's supplied by CMSNL from the latest production batch and are in perfect condition (as new) with new heatshields and diffusers.  Note: the HM341's fitted to the bike in the pictures have been replaced with these brand new Daytona pipes. as there was some surface pitting and evidence of rust-through on the underside that I was unhappy about selling the bike with. Other than the above the bike is unrestored throughout and is in superb cosmetic & mechanical condition.  The chrome throughout is in excellent condition with no rust.  Servicing & running condition:In terms of commissioning the bike for the UK the carburettors were ultrasonically cleaned and fully rebuilt with genuine Honda / Keihin parts.  The bike has also been freshly serviced with new oil and filter. front brake rebuild. new brake upper & lower hydraulic hoses (OEM) new fork seals (OEM). camchain & tappets adjusted. new chain & new tyres all within the last 100 miles. She starts and runs perfectly and has no known faults that I am aware of. Terms of sale:This bike will be sold with 12 Month MOT and is fully UK registered in my name. Please no time wasters. this bike is priced to sell and is very rare in this superb condition & genuine low mileage for a bike of this age. I'm located in Hove. East Sussex and can make the bike available to view as required - please feel free to call / email me with any questions. Price & payment:I'm open to reasonable offers very close to the asking price of ?6995 Payment strictly by cash on collection or bank transfer. The bike will not be released until I have evidence of cleared funds.

Please don't mis-interpret this statement as me being aloof - I'm a genuine person and if you're genuinely interested I'd love to hear from you.  I'll also take some better photos of the bike in the coming week - apologies for the iPhone effort. was all I had to hand at the time. !
