• Rare unrestored 1969 CB750 Sandcast restoration project
• Frame number 1001648, so must be an early production model
• The engine turns over on kickstart, supplied with a current V5C

The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The legendary CB750/4 was launched in 1969 to great acclaim and laid down the blueprint for the modern day superbike, with the most collectable ones being the first c.7,000 models that used the distinctive 'Sandcast' crankcases amongst other unique features.

It is rare to find an unrestored 1969 Sandcast, this CB750 is frame number 101648 and engine number 101596, so must be one of the early bikes manufactured by Honda. It seems to have retained many of its unique features, even down to many of the bolts having a number 8 cast into the head. There can't be many early Sandcast left that have not been fully restored, so this is a good opportunity to acquire an excellent starting point for a rewarding rebuild. The engine turns over on the kickstarter, and whilst it appears to have spent much of its life in the USA, it comes UK registered on a current V5C.
