Every moto-loving gearhead out there has at least pictured themselves sitting on an iconic bike produced during the previous century. Those of you who would like to make that dream a reality should totally allocate some time to browsing online bidding platforms. Let’s get straight to the point and examine what the BaT (Bring A Trailer) website has to offer at this time, shall we?

The machine you’re looking at here is a 1973 MY Honda CB750 Four that’s been owned by a single individual, who covered a mere 6k miles (just under 10,000 km) in its saddle. You may bid at no reserve for this timeless Japanese classic until Wednesday evening (July 29), when the BaT auction is set to end. For the time being, the top bidder is offering $7,000 to get their hands on the retro four-banger.

Under current ownership, Honda’s flagship two-wheeler received a new taillight bulb and a modern chain drive, while its carbs have been retuned for good measure. Now, if you happen to be unfamiliar with the predator’s technical characteristics, we’ll be more than happy to bring you up to speed.

At its core, the CB750 Four K3 hosts an air-cooled SOHC inline-four mill, with two valves per cylinder, four 28 mm (1.1 inches) Keihin carbs and a displacement of 736cc. This bad boy is capable of feeding 67 ponies to a five-speed gearbox when the tachometer reaches 8,000 revs per minute. At about 7,000 spins, the four-stroke powerplant will produce a peak torque output of 44 pound-feet (60 Nm).

The rear 18-inch wheel is put in motion thanks to a chain final drive, resulting in a top speed of 123 mph (198 kph). Additionally, Honda’s MVP – which has a curb weight of 498 pounds (226 kg) – will finish the quarter-mile sprint in 13.5 seconds at 101 mph (162 kph). Long story short, we’d say this is an opportunity you wouldn’t want to miss!
