The inexorable rise of the race replica, to a point where these fully-faired, hyper-sports models are regarded as the industry mainstream, left a gap in the market for a less manic type of machine recalling gentler times when ‘getting your knee down’ was the preserve of a select band of ahead-of-their-time racers, headed most notably by Paul Smart, and not a necessary requirement for ultimate motorcycling machismo. Thus it was that a whole new class of motorcycle was created - the ‘retro’ or ‘naked’ - though in the 1970s machines such as these would have been regarded as merely normal. Most of the Japanese ‘Big Four’ climbed on the bandwagon in the early 1990s, Honda’s contribution - the CB Seven Fifty - recalling, after a fashion, one of its most famous model designations from the ‘Sixties. The new CB rehashed the old CBX750 motor from the 1980s, suitably de-tuned and housed in a tubular steel frame with twin-shock rear suspension - the norm for the class. Possessing adequate rather than startling performance, but nevertheless capable of nudging 130mph, the sensible CB Seven Fifty offered practical benefits in the form of a generously-sized fuel tank and a centre stand (remember them?) that were just what its target market appreciated. Presented in good condition throughout, having covered just 1,100 miles from new, this example is offered with Swansea V5 registration document.
