Raced by the Chairman of the C.R.M.C.

Honda returned to the track for the 1970 Daytona meeting with a machine, which to conform to the prevailing rules, was based on their newly introduced CB750 Four. Success at Daytona offered huge benefits for the company in terms of promoting the CB750 and consequently Honda signed up Dick Mann, Ralph Bryans and Tommy Robb to spearhead the assault. During the race Mann rode conservatively, preserving his machine whilst his major competitors retired with various problems, resulting in Mann taking the victory.

In recent years the ready availability of CB750's and the existence of a number of different race series for which CR750 replicas are eligible has resulted in various companies producing items that enable the conversion of the CB into a CR replica.

This well known example was built during 1999/2000 and raced over the subsequent six seasons by the present chairman of the CRMC, Roger Bryant.

The standard frame was modified to a similar pattern as that employed by the original CR750, incorporating extra bracing and fabricated footrest hangers mounting works pattern cast alloy footrests and a cast alloy rear brake lever. The CR750 type alloy fuel tank is equipped with a flip up fuel cap (with a titanium lever) and Honda fuel tap and is complimented by an alloy oil tank with an anti froth system, a race seat and a copy of the CR750 fairing. The four pipe exhaust replicates the original CR750 system but incorporates internal baffling resulting in a 105db noise output and has recently been repainted and repacked. The front forks utilise revised springs, sourced from the States and have had their damping modified and mount twin callipers, one of which has been modified resulting in both bleed nipples pointing to the front. Cast iron, drilled disks compliment the callipers and braided lines are used. The rear drum has been lightened and both wheels employ alloy rims that have recently been fitted with new Dunlop KR racing tyres.

The engine was built with the same attention to detail as the rest of the machine, featuring modified crankcases with the excess alloy removed, a steel cam chain tensioner wheel and a stronger go-kart sourced chain replacing the original cam chain. The K0 series head is equipped with Black Diamond racing valves and springs and a Kenny Harman D grind camshaft. Wiesco two ring pistons are connected to alloy race spec rods sourced from Japan.

A Quaife close ratio five speed gearbox and race clutch springs ensure that the power is transmitted effectively to the back wheel. A digital Boyer Bransden ignition system equipped with mini digital coils provides the spark whilst race jetted CB750 carburettors fitted with alloy bell mouths meter the fuel mixture.

During 2007 the machine benefited from new paintwork in the Honda race livery of red with a silver fairing and the seat was recovered. A new final drive chain, clutch lever, clutch cable, plugs, oil filter, clip-ons, grips and a AP Racing brake master cylinder and lever (with variable ratio). The feed and return oil pipes and the callipers were overhauled and refinished.

The bike is offered with a secure paddock stand, a manual, timing information, copy homologation sheets, a race kit parts list, tuning and race preparation information, a CRMC registration certificate, number 221719, a full selection of front and rear sprockets and a substantial quantity of spares.

Featured in Classic Racer, it is described by the vendor as being ready to race/parade.
