After doing the illustration for my Triumph Bonneville I decided it was only right to do one for my first motorcycle love, a 1978 Honda CB750.

My Honda 1980 Honda CB750 dohc cafe bike! Took about 1 1/2 yr to build. Bought it out of a junkyard for $200. Motor was seized, no seat, wiring fried, everything f@$%...
Sooo... I bobbed the frame a little, rebuilt entire 750 engine from ground up with cb900 cams and carbs, new pistons, rings, seals, crank and rod bearings, cleaned tranny, found nos cylinder std. bore, new valves/springs/seals/lapped, timing chains, gaskets, clutch, stator, new factory wiring connectors, new fork seals, rear shocks, etc...
Then for fun, I mounted a 2002 CBR swingarm and rear wheel to the back, with a couple of shock mounts welded on for that old school look.
Forks came off a gl1000, old school steering damper, Vance & Hines Sidewinder header attached to a ti muffler.
Gauges are killer Motogadget mini, for a clean look.
Got a killer Power Arch ignition from Cycle X.
Stainless brake lines....and much, much more.
I just wanted to get it running originally, but it turned into a HUGE OBSESSION.
Anyway, after two years and about $8 k, it runs incredible!!!!
A stunner.
The CB750 is a legendary bike, in production for over 30 years with few major changes from the start; partly because it was such a well developed bike in the first place.
I believe this one is 'local' to me, but I think I've only seen it one other time. Registered in 1998.

"Seldom has a road-test model attracted such a wide interest and appreciative comments from bystanders. That it justified the praise goes without saying. No manufacturer has come nearer than Honda to producing an ideal roadster." - Motor Cycle.
Fifty-plus years on, it is hard to imagine the impact the Honda CB750 had on the motorcycling world when it was unveiled to a stunned public at the Tokyo Show in October 1968. True, there had been plenty of four-cylinder motorcycles before, but these had been built in relatively small numbers and aimed at the wealthy few. Here for the first time was a mass-produced four within the financial reach of the average enthusiast, and one whose specification - overhead camshaft, disc front brake, five-speed gearbox, electric starter, etc - made the opposition look obsolete overnight.
Bike magazine summed up Honda's achievement thus: "Like BSA/Triumph's parallel twin and Ducati's desmodromic single, the Honda inline four is one of those engines which created a standard out of an ideal. The list of Honda's technical achievements is impressive but the appearance of a production four-barrel roadster at a Mr Everyman price was probably their greatest coup." A trend-setting design of immense significance and one of the truly great classic motorcycles, the CB750 is highly sought after by collectors.
Offered here is a fine example of the K1 model, introduced in 1971, which featured a larger fuel tank and a new oil tank, side panels and dual seat together with various cosmetic changes. Mechanically, the most significant advances were the adoption of a simplified and more efficient throttle operating system; stiffer rear suspension springs; and the provision of an oiler for the rear chain.
Restored in 2010, this CB750 currently displays a total of 52,383 kilometres on the odometer and is described by the vendor as excellent throughout. The machine is offered with a Belgian Carte Grise.
Lots of modifications on this one. The bike was seen at the 2025 "One Moto Show" in Portland Oregon.
Honda CB 750 Four
"The Honda CB750 is an air-cooled, transverse, in-line four-cylinder engine motorcycle made by Honda over several generations for year models 1969–2003 as well as 2007 with an upright or standard riding posture. It is often called the original Universal Japanese Motorcycle (UJM).
Though other manufacturers had marketed the transverse, overhead camshaft, in-line four-cylinder engine configuration and the layout had been used in racing engines prior to World War II, Honda popularized the configuration with the CB750, and the layout subsequently became the dominant sport bike engine layout.
The CB750 is included in the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Classic Bikes; was named in the Discovery Channel's "Greatest Motorbikes Ever;" was in The Art of the Motorcycle exhibition, and is in the UK National Motor Museum. The Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan, Inc. rates the 1969 CB750 as one of the 240 Landmarks of Japanese Automotive Technology.
The CB750 was the first motorcycle to be called a "superbike.""

The Rickman brothers Don and Derek ( and not Alan Rickman , he's an actor - now sadly deceased ) produced these excellent nickel plated frame and fibreglass kits for Japanese bikes such as the Kawasaki Z1000, Suzuki GS models and the Honda CB 750 seen here with me on it
It belonged to a friend of mine and the fairing screen was already broken which was a shame as it ruined those lovely curves.

In 1977 at the Isle of Man TT, Phil Read aboard a Honda CB750 triumphed in a shortened Formula 1 World Championship. To celebrate such a feat, Honda commissioned Colin Seeley to create 400 Phil Read Replicas of the race-winning machine. After 150 units had been produced, there was a difference of opinion between Honda and Read, therefore production ceased, with the remaining 250 units styled as Honda Britains. There are now an estimated 50 survivors.
