1974 Honda Rickman CR750 Daytona for Sale

For those of you that know what a Rickman Honda CR750 is, you know what a unique and rare opportunity this is to own a real and surviving example in museum quality like this one is.

This particular Rickman is manufactured in May of 1974, making it an early production example. The original Rickman ID plate is still attached to the head tube and

is crystal clear, like new. No monkey business here! This bike is a careful build of a complete kit to correct period specifications in every detail, by one of the most expert vintage and classic European motorcycle restorer/builder in this country. The level of research, care and detail that went into this motorcycle is second to none.

It is absolutely stunning, the photos don't do this bike the justice that it deserves. The nickel plating on the frame is original and completely intact. It has a rare nickel plated Japanese market side stand as well, super easy to deploy. The center stand is also nickel plated, unlike most others that are left as raw or painted steel. It's these kinds

of details that sets this bike apart from all others.if you can find another like it, that is. The engine is a 1971 K1 Honda CB750 mill that has been fully rebuilt and worked with an 810cc kit, Norris R Grind cam, giving it more punch than a stock engine.

Exhaust is new old stock ORIGINAL HM300 pipes with modified factory baffles. The package is complimented by carefully overhauled 28mm Keihn carbs with screened velocity stacks that enhance midrange punch. Every effort has been made to maintain the authenticity of the original kit, from the NEW as-original Dunlop K81 'TT100' type tires to the original and correct instrumentation and switchgear. This Rickman CR motorcycle is exactly as

it would have appeared to enthusiasts of the day, right down to the period-correct and England-sourced “Stadium ” mirrors.

The wiring harness is an NOS K3 wiring harness, as that is a little more robust, has fuses, and is easy to adapt to than the original K1 unit. The fuel tank has been internally lined with Caswell Plating's 2-part epoxy system which is ethanol-proof. So there are no worries tanking up at your local filling station. The wheels have been totally rebuilt and the spokes have been replaced with one gauge larger. All of the bodywork is original, in its original Daytona Orange gel-coat finish (not painted! ) as sold by the Rickman brothers.

The only parts that have been painted are the side covers and the headlight bucket, neither of which were supplied or color-matched by the Rickmans. The bike fires right up and rides perfectly without issues, it is perfectly at home on the road, as it is on display in a museum.
