The CB750A, introduced in 1976, was a derivative of the single cam CB750 equipped with a two speed torque converter that dispensed with the need for a manual clutch. Unlike the "standard" CB750 the new model was equipped with a wet sump lubrication system which housed the oil for both the engine and transmission and the motorcycle was fitted with a parking brake. The machines styling differed from the manual transmission model significantly with a stepped saddle, high bars and large section rear tyre, anticipating the trends of the "factory customs" that would emerge from the Japanese factories as the decade closed. Unfortunately, Honda, like Moto Guzzi with the V1000 Convert, found that clutchless and automatic transmissions did not appeal to riders of large capacity machines with production ending in 1978 following disappointing sales, consequently the technically interesting CB750A is an extremely rare machine today and a must for any Honda collector.
The example offered has been in the same ownership for the last 17 years having been imported from the States and has not been used for the last 12. It is described as having fair cosmetics and being "OK" mechanically and running, although it requires a battery, and is accompanied by a Swansea V5C.
