SEELEY HONDA CLASSIC 750 R PROJECT ** ONLY 3 IN THE WORLD** SWAP PART EX

Seeley Honda Classic 750 R Project

So it?ˆ™s getting to that time of year again when winter projects are required to keep us sane over the dark months. On offer is one of. if not the rarest ?ˆ?road-going?ˆ? Honda ever produced.  

 Commissioned by Honda after the success of the 750  S. O. H. C. Phil Read Replicas and Honda Britains. built by Colin Seeley.

The new bikes were based on the DOHC 750kz. ONLY 3 of these exceptional models were produced. Improvements included twin Cibie fairing. 5. 75 gallon alloy tank. one piece side panel and tail unit. Girling shocks and exhaust system. Adverts were placed in the U. K. and in the U. S. A. I have copies of both adverts and an article by MCN in 1980 also a letter from Colin.

Three bikes were made then Honda pulled the plug and orders were never placed so the bikes were sold to help recoup some of the development costs. Page 221 of Colin Seeleys book ?ˆ?and the rest?ˆ?.

The beauty of this project is the rare parts are there and the rest of the bike is standard Honda. If a restored Phil Read Replica/Honda Britain is worth £10. 00 and there was 300 of these made. what?ˆ™s a Classic 750 R worth when there was only 3 made?

This example has been off the road 12 years and could be refurbed as opposed to a full restoration due to the condition being well above average.

When it was last on road. the original engine was removed when a top end rattle occurred. and replaced with another engine from a breakers as this was the cheaper option. I had this running last year.

I have the ORIGINAL engine though. The 3 bikes had their engines stamped either ?ˆ?A?ˆ? ?ˆ?B?ˆ? or ?ˆ?C?ˆ? this is the ?ˆ?A?ˆ? model.

There is a lot of history with this bike.

So?ˆ¦ cash is always a good option. but I need a ?ˆ?modern. ish?ˆ? bike so I?ˆ™m willing to do a deal on ANYTHING of a decent size. Would prefer a V-twin. SV1000. VTR1000. Mille. Duke are top of list. but ANYTHING considered.

Must be low miles and in good nick!
