SUMMARY

An early example of one of the original 150 bikes produced by Colin Seeley as 'Phil Read Replicas'.

DESCRIPTION

  • Honda commissioned 400 CB750s to be built by Colin Seeley in 1978 as 'Phil Read Replicas' to celebrate Phil Read's TT victory at the Isle of Man in 1977 
  • Based on the CB750F2 but fitted with GRP bodywork, handmade alloy tank, single seat, Cibié twin headlights, and a 4-into-1 exhaust system
  • Following a disagreement with Phil Read, the number of bikes built was reduced to 150, of which only approximately 50 original examples are known to still exist
  • This example sports a fuel tap on the right-hand side of the tank (as opposed to the left) which makes it one of the first 15 built, however this is unconfirmed since no formal frame number records were ever kept
  • Presented as a project bike that will require a full restoration, however it appears to have most of its original parts, including the correct scalloped bottom handmade aluminium tank, angled/upswept exhaust, front mounted ignition barrel and GRP bodywork
  • The build spec includes telescopic front forks and swing-arm rear suspension with 5-way adjustable shock absorber, dual 10.8 inch front disc and single 11.6 inch rear disc, Com Star 5-spoke wheels, 5-speed gearbox, and four Keihin 28mm carburettors
  • Odometer shows 40,696 miles and the bike has a UK V5C
