Honda CR750 racer fetches over Au$110k
Classic racer replica shows the
market values sixties and seventies icons
Guy 'Guido' Allen, August 2025
A 1969 Honda CR750 race bike based
on an early CB750-Four has this week fetched
Au$112,000 (US$73,000, GB£54,000, €62,000)
via a
Bring a Trailer auction.
Three years ago, the same machine fetched a top bid of Au$98,000 (US$64,000, GB£47,000, €55,000).
What's all the fuss about? It carries early engine and chassis numbers, which means it is effectively a 'sandcast' K0 series and is therefore serious bait for collectors.
It was assembled over 20 years ago by California-based Vic World of World Motorcycles, who has long been the doyen of sandcast CeeBees. He started hoarding bikes and parts for this series back in the late 1970s, and became the go-to source of restored early K0 machines for collectors who had cash to spare. Even 20 years ago, his street bike builds were selling to international enthusiats for US$60k (Au$92,000, GB£44,000, €51,000) .
While not a factory CR750, this example has
a good competition history.
The CR750 scored a win in the Daytona 200
back in 1970, with Dick Mann in the saddle. He's pictured
above with USA Honda manager Bob Hansen. See the excellent
Revzilla story on that race.
Honda did not return to Daytona in 1971,
though Mann won the race again on a BSA Rocket 3.
See our Honda CB750-Four profile, which has series dates and production numbers.
