1973 Honda CR750

In Japan, Race by Abhi5 Comments

Compare this to the previous post of a CB750 chopper – talk about two different ways a bike can be modified! After Honda’s victory at the 1970 Daytona 200, they sold 200 race kits that would turn a CB750 into a CR750 racer. Those kits cost $10,000 back in the day, which would roughly equate to $61,000 now.

That special kit included over 150 parts, and the end result was a redline bump to 10,500 (the seller says 12k but I can’t find another source to verify that) and a horsepower bump up to 90 (from 67). Honda apparently recalled and destroyed lots many of the early CR750 parts, making it very difficult to build one of these bikes today. That’s why I’m excited to show you this CR750, which is claimed to be very correct.

The seller includes a long list of the included parts installed, which mixes some NOS equipment, parts from a CBX, and some aftermarket pieces. It does not yet have a title and the seller says ‘the engine ran good and shifted smooth on the last test run’, though I couldn’t see a timeframe of when that last test run was.
