Honda CB description

1972 Honda CB 750 Four


Up for sale is my 1972 Honda CB 750. This motorcycle is very clean and well maintained, proving to be an extremely reliable motorcycle during the last ten years. It even has the original owners manual under the seat!


On numerous occasions I have ridden this machine out of state for weekend trips, having nothing but fun. At just over 17,600 miles, this motorcycle has not yet entered the prime of its life. 


The paint scheme is the desirable Sunrise Flake Orange, and is in excellent condition considering its age, showing very minor scratches and blemishes. 


The tires were installed shortly after I purchased this bike and have a great deal of tread; approximately 75% of tread remaining. It should also be noted that there is no rust to be found on the spokes or the rims. It should also be noted that the battery is about two years old and has been regularly maintained with a Battery Tender. 


This motorcycle starts easily and quickly on cold mornings. Just engage the choke and push the starter button; the bike will fire nearly effortlessly. This motorcycle is currently being ridden on a regular basis and is always a great conversation starter. Its true- you do meet the nicest people on a Honda!


I will also be listing this bike locally, and I reserve the right to end the auction early, provided the reserve has not been met. 

This motorcycle is being sold “as is” with no warranty.

Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs and arrangements. I will make myself available for local pickup as well.


Thanks for looking and good luck!

Schwantz and Mackenzie on the Nurburgring box

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

A 500GP bike never fails to stop me in my tracks and that’s exactly what happened when I spotted this Schwantz example from the early nineties, proudly displayed on the Arai stand at the recent Motorcyclelive show.  On loan from Crescent Suzuki and accompanied by a rostrum publicity shot from the 1990 German GP at the Nurburgring, I felt the urge to write a few words on that special weekend. I started the year running my own 250 GP team with fairly standard TZ Yamahas but was drafted in as Kevin Schwantz’s team mate after Kevin Magee suffered a serious head injury at the second Grand Prix in Laguna Seca.  With no testing and some major Spanish food poisoning I finished 8th at the next round in Jerez then followed that up with a 5th place in Misano. Next up was the Nurburgring and after qualifying on the second row of the grid, my crew chief Geoff Crust informed me he had a premonition of a race day rostrum finish. He also told me I better make it come true as he was already looking forward to a few post race celebratory refreshments. While I hoped Crusty was the new mystic meg, the truth was I would have been more than happy to buy the beers if I made it to the flag inside the top five. I had an outside chance of catching one major scalp as Wayne Rainey was riding with a nasty hand injury but I suspected adrenalin would see him through the day. I also followed Mick Doohan a fair bit in practice but he was beginning to find his feet on the Rothmans Honda so was going to be another problem.  When the lights went out Schwantz and Rainey went straight to the front I while I hung in behind Doohan and Pier Francesco Chilli, and then it happened. Coming out of the bottom right hand hairpin, Doohan and Chilli simultaneously high sided in one of the most spectacular crashes of the season. I never liked seeing any fellow riders crash but I made the most of this early race gift and rode my 160bhp/115kg RGV hard to the flag, claiming my first podium of the season.  We partied hard (win or lose we always did) that night and I went on to have my best ever season finishing fourth overall in the championship. After the last round in Australia, I finished second to Kevin at Sugo in Japan then won in Malaysia at another international race that KS didn’t attend. I also tested at Eastern Creek for the following season but then was flicked from the team for reasons that still remain a mystery. Hey Ho!       

2014 Honda CB1100 Announced

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

The Honda CB1100 has only been available here in North America for a year, but for 2014, the retro-styled standard is already getting an update. That’s because the CB1100 has been around for a bit longer overseas, and for nearly everywhere but here, it’s ripe for a modest refresh. For 2014, Honda is replacing the previous version’s five-speed transmission with a six-speed gearbox.

Honda Announces 2014 Cruisers, Customs and XR650L

Wed, 04 Sep 2013

American Honda announced several models returning for the 2014 model year with no changes save for a couple of new color options, but the same pricing as 2013. These 2014 model announcements include Honda’s 750cc Shadow cruisers, its 1300cc customs, the entry-level 250cc Rebel cruiser and the XR650L dual-sport. Those waiting for more substantial changes will have to wait a bit longer for more 2014 Honda announcements.
