1978 Honda CB750A Hondamatic Unregistered US Import Barn Find Classic Restoratio Manufacturer: Honda Model: CB750A Hondamatic Year: 1978 Engine No: CB750AE-7204543 Frame No: CB750A-7204540 Colour: Maroon Mileage: 13019 Capacity: 736cc Starting at: £1499.99 Stock No: 90036 This 1978 Honda CB750A Hondamatic (Auto) has recently been imported from North America where it has spent all its life – the air is thin and the climate is far kinder to motorcycles than ours. We have been unable to confirm this mileage reading. Please disregard it. The single most important purchase for a classic restoration project is the bike to restore, whether it's going to be a commercial venture or just a hobby interest it all starts here!. PLEASE CHECKOUT THE PICTURES........ As you can see this bike has few parts missing, but the seat cover is trashed and the foam isn't too clever. The front Suzuki indicators are a bit skewiff. BUT NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS......... The wheels are straight with nice clean alloy, good discs, calipers and working brakes, though the front does stick a bit. The forks and yokes look straight with good chrome. The tail light assy is good, the headlight looka bit small. The clocks look quite bright but the cases are a bit dull. The switches look okay and everything that moves that should. The carburettors move off the twist grip, but are a bit stiff. The paintwork is faded but solid, fuel tank is squeaky clean inside. The seat base is in good condition throughout. The rear indicators are tidy. The chain guard is tidy. Both mud guards are solid, but the front is a bit knocked. The standard exhaust looks pretty good ut has some enterprisng repairs apparent. The engine is cosmetically clean. We have had it firing/running & revving on easystart spray but the fuel system & carbs will need attention.
