Phil Read won the first TT Formula 1 World Championship riding a Honda in a year that also saw the company secure the Formula 2 and Formula 3 championships. As a consequence Honda Britain introduced a special version of the CB750/4 to celebrate their success and capitalise on it in the marketplace. Although the mechanical and cycle elements of the Phil Read Replica were on the whole identical to the standard model, the machines appearance was dramatically altered.
A full twin headlight fairing adorned the front end and a one and half person saddle with a tail fairing replaced the standard item. Finished in contemporary Honda Britain racing colours the new model found a ready market and has subsequently become sought after by Honda collectors.
The example offered is presented to a high standard and is accompanied by a Swansea V5.
