I am the guy that Ken Kaplan bought that bike from and the '79 Bonneville he mentions. The whole crew at the New England Motorcycle Museum were a pleasure to work with.
Tell Sr. I love him, and love the details but he needs to take your que on the SS video and let us hear more bike and less gum flapping when riding a demo. And as much, I’d love a separate video on the facility updates from him. I’m new onboard with you guys, but just thrilled to bits with what y’all are doin up there. Awesome stuff.
You guys have presented some lovely bikes during the years. It's a pleasure to see your passion flare up once you've got your hands on a particularly nice vintage bike. Displacement is not so important but rather the whole package, like the few Honda CB400 super sport you had on the channel. Brilliant!
Beautiful 750. Had a candy garnet brown '71. I was fascinated with that bike. The sound those 4 pipes and mufflers emitted was pure music. At the time, a guy down the street had a new BSA Rocket 3. We went at it daily. My 750 was quicker and definitely more dependable. That 3 cylinder sounded sweet though. Wish I had a time machine. Thanks for the video. I get watery eyes looking at it.
This was my first bike back in Japan. Loved it so many memories of running wild thru Tokyo on it 😂 Wish I had one over here in Scotland. Currently on Harley FXDB Street Bob but changing soon to a Yamaha XV1900 - cant wait!
In 1970 I walked into a Honda Dealorship looking for a Honda 350. I walked out with a golden cb 750. It was one of the best purchases of anything I ever bought.
Had a 1971 Honda 750 just like this one. Painted orange. I took the chrome trim off the gas tank rim. I Finally had to sell it as it was hard to take a date out in February (lived in Michigan). I miss that bike
Love the videos had 74 cb750 took my dad and my self 2 years and thousands of dollars to bring it back to life but it only had 11,000 on the clock he had brand new one in 75.
Surely the Honda CB 750 is the most iconic motorcycle of the latter half of the 20th century. There have been many great bikes since then, but the CB started it all.
Yes sireee I had me one o these ‘supa-bikes’ here in the north of England in 1971 when most British bikers were still running Bonnies and Commandos. I had come from a Velocette Thruxton (no slouch in-itself and I could make it go ) but the Honda 4 was something else, a magic carpet, luxury of luxuries, a machine that could blow most other road users into the weeds, it would cruise along all day at 100mph with summat in reserve - i kid you not. It handled extremely well, better in fact after I had fitted Koni rear shocks and changed the oil viscosity in the front forks. often carried a pillion passenger (the wife god bless her she must have not known fear) l was 24 yr old and loved speed, rain or shine. The only other noticeable mods I made were to fit a pair of Dunlop K81’s, lower / narrower handlebars and to make new, 2”higher / 1” shorter, pillion foot pegs (because with a passenger on board the originals were the first point of contact when cornering. I wish I had my time in the 70’s over again and although my biking days are behind me now, the latest offerings don’t stir me, I like to watch MotoGp now those guys are truly the kings of speed.
1971 was arguably the better model than the previous year. due to the improved throttle pickup/carb linkage, but does anyone know why Honda lowered the red line from 8,500 to 8,000 RPM ? I was about to buy a '71 from a local guy, way back in 1974 but luckily got pipped to the post, as I later met the buyer, it had a twisted crankshaft and was impossible to time correctly. I recall feeling a sense of relief, sat astride my Trident T150V, in my place of work with the glum chap's wife as he dropped her off there. Did buy a new SOHC 750 F2 in 1977 but it wasn't a great bike, had a lousy gearbox with false neutrals galore and was much heavier. Sold it long before the top end valve issues arose, but not before the fork oil seals failed, twice. That was the only Honda I ever bought.
there is also a mistake in the left side cover paint. The entire cover should not be painted gold but rather the bottom tab is painted black to simulate a smooth linear bottom.
Beautiful bike Nice review However sorry to be a pain but I couldn't help but notice just how many times you blew through red lights and ignored basic safety riding rules. If you are going to promote yourself and your business professionly please take more care about promoting safe riding behaviors as well. Thanks Nick
Droolable bike and enjoyable video. Thanks for this sir. Love from Bengaloor, India. I wish Honda and other japanese motorcycle companies start thinking about producing these bikes again. Its enough if they keep everything as original and just enhance the safety features. Am sure those will sell out instantly. Thanks again for making this video sir. Just one question, can u let me know the color code of this orange? It will be very helpful for me as i am looking to have this color on my Honda CD 200. Thanks and regards. Peace!
Of course we know it's a 750 but which model..? You guys never show the model numbers on the case. Because with the E model you could build these motors up to 1000cc. I know I own one and it was an 836cc a very reliable build. Could do 135 on it. Rode it for 18 years. Never had a problem.
Hey Kap longtime viewer of your bikes. You've classified many bikes as "museum" quality and this is the first comment ive left on youtube after many years. But why the HELL are you pumping these bikes up when i viewed no less than 5 of your museum quality bikes that have new mismatched tires. drives me and prob others friggen nuts!! Call it for what it is!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful to see one not chopped up and café racer made
I am the guy that Ken Kaplan bought that bike from and the '79 Bonneville he mentions. The whole crew at the New England Motorcycle Museum were a pleasure to work with.
Wait til they see you Bonneville!!! What a beauty

Beautiful work man, and good to hear. I don’t doubt it at all.
I remember visiting Honda dealerships in the early 70s. There were rows of these 750s with all kinds of paint jobs. Great memories.
Had one in 1972 tough as nails, this is my dream bike.

Im lucky enough to own one, same year, same colour and completely original…..she’s never being sold
This was my first bike back in Japan.
Loved it so many memories of running wild thru Tokyo on it 😂
Wish I had one over here in Scotland.
Currently on Harley FXDB Street Bob but changing soon to a Yamaha XV1900 - cant wait!
"memories..." LOVE those bikes, changed motorcycling forever!
Most beautiful Honda ever made
Makes me miss my 75. Same color. Only thing it had chrome tach and speedo. Sooo reliable.
In 1970 I walked into a Honda Dealorship looking for a Honda 350. I walked out with a golden cb 750. It was one of the best purchases of anything I ever bought.
I always loved the 750 4, I saw one of these with MX tires and a side car in a demo race at the 1982 USGP at Carlsbad it was loud and awesome
Had a 1971 Honda 750 just like this one. Painted orange. I took the chrome trim off the gas tank rim. I Finally had to sell it as it was hard to take a date out in February (lived in Michigan). I miss that bike
I had my first one of these ‘super bikes’ in 1970 and coming from Triumph twins and Velocettes, a super bike it felt like. Happy days !!
Narrative said last year before detuning when it was actually '73 when emissions started.
Love the videos had 74 cb750 took my dad and my self 2 years and thousands of dollars to bring it back to life but it only had 11,000 on the clock he had brand new one in 75.
Had a Red 71' in 79' - Great Bike! Wish I had it back.
Mine was red, bought her in '72 as a year old used bike. Paid $1050 for her.
Beautiful bike, if only they made this bike today!
I had a gold 72 and man, I sure miss that bike!
amazing💕
clean bike i love the exhaust on the old bikes
Surely the Honda CB 750 is the most iconic motorcycle of the latter half of the 20th century. There have been many great bikes since then, but the CB started it all.
Man, that is a damn good looking scoot. Making me want to come over to the shop!
Beautiful!
That's a nice Honda CB
Used to have one same colour stunning bike
Yes sireee

Ken, you got some sleeves!
Nice, I'll take one !
sweet old bike
The original super bike.
I bought one just like this in '76 for $1000
WOW!!
Vary nice one of my dream bikes
Wow the double dual exhaust is crazy.....Im gonna guess that bike is gonna cost 15k.edit-I was close!
I hope Honda is limited edition i think number 1 classic bike in the world is Honda CB 750 four
Bright side said the original sold for 160,000lbs.
Beautyful Bike⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
I love how he doesn’t acknowledge any of the stop signs.
Lol, yeah, he's such a renegade.
Because he's an idiot i guess
Or lights. Or no turn on reds
Very nice bike, had it been truly original it would fetch upwards of £14k in the UK. That one, about £9/10k. (retail)
Good video too.

That's my bike (not exact bike) with good story!
The side panel wings are flying backwards, not how Honda did them.
there is also a mistake in the left side cover paint. The entire cover should not be painted gold but rather the bottom tab is painted black to simulate a smooth linear bottom.
Hey my friend! do you still have it for sale?
I have to ask I have a 1971 CB 750 all original, how do I go about restoring/selling?
Beautiful bike
Nice review
However sorry to be a pain but I couldn't help but notice just how many times you blew through red lights and ignored basic safety riding rules.
If you are going to promote yourself and your business professionly please take more care about promoting safe riding behaviors as well.
Thanks

Wowww very nice
I have 2 sets of factory pipes!! Wonder what they are worth. Repops are like 2500.00!

Just one question, can u let me know the color code of this orange? It will be very helpful for me as i am looking to have this color on my Honda CD 200. Thanks and regards. Peace!
Hey boy’s
can someone tell me what color is that?

My wallet can't take the sexy! lol
Stopping for stop signs and red lights? Pfffffffffft! Who’s got time for that??? 😂😂😂
He's from my generation, every frickin' sign and regulation doesn't run our lives.
Stephen Lacher ... Mine too... He and I are the exact same age...
anyone know how much it sold for?
I bought a new one for 1500 from the dealer
I'm from India,I need this could you contact me
