It's a very early sandcast Roy that's been rebuilt by Vic World. His bikes are so good that Honda bought one for their Museum in Japan The video clip was done in 2009 at the Mid Ohio Show and the guy running it is Vic himself with my buddy Chris Rushton looking on in the red T shirt. Mega money I know but less than our friend Frank in the U.K. Would charge for a very much more ropey, later VIN example. Vics bikes are built from mainly NOS parts and his techniques for restoring the old parts he uses are mindblowing .. that's why Honda chose one of his for their museum.

Roy, that bike is not for riding.

Then what is it for. Looks like a motorbike to me?...... These things are not for looking at they are for riding. If it doesn't do that its worthless, except for the strange people who want to own it just for ownings sake............ It's these weird people that drive the prices sky high.............. I repeat it's not the Crown Jewels its a Honda that was sold to ordinary people in the local Honda dealerships........... Whats the point of owning a motorcycle that doesn't run. They would be better off as gold bullion or art dealers........... If you told the average person that you had paid £50,000 for a bike and you showed them a 750 Honda they would have you certified..... Only a real tiny number of people even know what a Sandcast is, and an even smaller number would pay anything like that for one.

Trigger:
