   its been said that honda was originally gonna make 1500 cb750's year  ;) but that was to be increased to 1500 a month as demand was so great world wide probably  thats why we did not have any until january 1970  :(
so apart from the low frame # you cant say its even a rare bike  ;D but still nice to know that the prices are still on the up  init  james  :-*

MrDavo:
Also a healthy oil leak from the head, lol at one of the photos a bit of j-cloth in place to catch drips as it has soiled the carpet while on the side stand.

I know from experience that it will be the rubber pucks under the cam going hard and no longer sealing.

Still, worth doing if you had any money left after purchasing and putting the pipes, mudguard etc right.

From what I know Honda planned initially to make 25 units /day but only actually achieved 5. By the time the 750 reach the UK and was displayed at the Brighton Show the factory was  supposedly producing them at a rate of one every three minutes.

The green Brighton Show bike I recently discovered was featured in a BBC TV programme broadcast on 28th February 1969 called 'Wheelbase' which was the forerunner to 'Top Gear'.
