For those people who rode a CB750 in the early 1970s, as soon as they could get their hands on what were then very scarce machines, it was obvious that the industry was going to be turned upside down. The enormous power and smoothness, the integrity of the design and, above all, the seemingly utter reliability made other factories' offerings seem dated. Forty years on, despite the professional detractors, a ride on a Honda Four in even average condition is still a magic experience and brings home just how good this machine was, and is.

Highly collectable, and highly desirable, the Honda offered hails from a prominent collection, and was given a mild café treatment with flat bars and collector exhaust. After some light re-commissioning it is ready to be ridden away.
