Our Verdict
A highly desirable classic motorcycle wi
When inspecting this white CB750, focus on the effects of long-term storage. Because the last recorded MOT was in 2021, you should check for perished rubber components, such as fuel lines, tyres, and fork seals, which can degrade even if the bike is not being ridden.
Request evidence of any maintenance performed since 2021. For a classic 743cc machine, ensuring the carburettors have been cleaned and the fuel system is free of varnish is critical. Check the electrical system thoroughly, as older Honda wiring can become brittle over four decades.
Running costs for a classic 743cc motorcycle are generally moderate. Fuel economy will depend heavily on riding style, but as a carburetted four-cylinder, it will be less efficient than modern fuel-injected equivalents.
Insurance for a 1981 model is often manageable through specialist classic bike insurers, though grouping will depend on the driver's profile. Maintenance costs can be higher due to the availability of parts for vintage models, but the simplicity of the engine design often keeps labour costs predictable.
The most recent MOT from October 2021 reported no defects, which is a positive indicator for that specific moment in time. However, you must inspect the braking system, specifically the discs and pads, to ensure they haven't seized or corroded during any period of inactivity.
Check the chain and sprockets for rust or excessive wear, and inspect the white paintwork and chrome components for any signs of bubbling or oxidation. Given the engine size and age, listen for any irregular idling or smoke from the exhaust which could indicate internal wear not captured by a basic MOT inspection.
This 1981 Honda CB750 presents with just 14,677 miles recorded at its last MOT in October 2021. Given its age, this mileage is significantly lower than average for a vehicle of this era. The single recorded MOT test shows no defects, though the gap since the last test must be considered.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Honda CB750 to provide a statistical reliability overview.
