Bike Of The Day: 1970 Honda CB750 Sandcast Café Racer

As far as weird-looking motorcycles go, this one is pretty wild. It’s a unique four-cylinder hot rod-inspired café racer with an impressive paint job. Rather than being a paired-down street racer, it’s more of an ostentatious endurance racer, with a large front fairing and dual headlights. And take a look at that beautiful four-into-one-exhaust system!

But it’s not the café racer parts or accessories that provide the value to this motorcycle. Nor is it the paint job or white leather saddle. It’s the engine.

This is a genuine 1969-made CB750 K0, a first-series machine that comes complete with much-sought-after sandcast engine cases. These early sandcast cases are very rare and they were only made in a limited quantity before Honda switched to die-cast production.
