HISTORICAL
MILESTONES: The CB 750k series motorcycle has established the record of being the most produced motorcycle model of a series. In its 10 year history of mass production, over 400,000 units were sold world-wide. It was the first mass produced motorcycle to have a hydraulic front disc brake available to the public. With its modern innovations for the time, low maintenance and durability, this SOHC 4 cylinder motorcycle gained its reputation as the "First of the Super Bikes. It was also voted "Motorcycle of the Century" in New Zealand. A jury of Top New Zealand motorcycle journalists decided this in 1999. RESTORATION
RECORD: This
motorcycle was purchased locally by my father, Rev. B.C. Hodson, in the fall of
1970. It has been kept in my family ever since. A full frame up restoration was
begun in June 2000. It is all stock mostly original with some replacement parts.
Any replacement parts are either: NOS (New Old Stock) or OEM (Original Equipment
Manufacturers). It has approximately 75,000 original miles. COMPETITION
