This 1974 Rickman CR750 was originally assembled by a Honda dealership in Warren, Michigan and reportedly served as a centerpiece in the showroom until 1978, when it was purchased by the seller’s stepfather. He added more than 10k miles before parking the bike in his living room, and later in his basement. Power is from a 736cc inline-four paired with a 5-speed gearbox, and equipment includes front and rear disc brakes, Borrani rims, and a 4-into-1 Kerker exhaust. The seller inherited the bike in 2009 and subsequently refreshed the carburetors, brake hydraulics, wheels, forks, and cosmetics. Approximately 500 miles have been added since the refresh was completed, and this CR750 is now offered with a set of original chain adjusters and a clean Michigan title.

The Rickman CR750 kit was initially designed to be used with a donor CB750. The dealership that assembled this example reportedly ordered the powertrain and components directly from Honda in 1974. Contained in the Rickman kit was a Reynolds 531 frame, stiffer swingarm, and their proprietary chain-adjustment system, as well as cafe racer-style fiberglass bodywork, clip-ons, rearsets, a replacement front fork, and upgraded brakes and wheels.

The seller reports that the bike remains finished in the original orange gelcoat, though a few of the stickers have been removed. After pulling the bike from longterm basement storage, the seller polished the nickel-plated frame and aluminum engine side cases. Visible hardware was replaced with new chrome or stainless pieces, and the seat pad was recovered with leather stitched in the original style. A replacement leather securing strap for the fuel tank has been fitted.

Borrani aluminum rims are laced to disc brake hubs, and some pitting is evident in the chrome nipples. The brake calipers and master cylinder have been rebuilt, an new hoses and pads have been installed. The front forks also received new seals and fluid. New tires and tubes were installed during the 2009 refresh.

Instrumentation and lighting were carried over from the CB750. More than 11k miles are shown on the odometer.

The 736cc SOHC inline-four is equipped with a set of pod air cleaners and a Kerker 4-into-1 exhaust system with a removable baffle. In 2009 the bike was serviced by Suzuki Honda of Warren, where it was originally assembled in 1974. Work included adjustments of the carburetors and ignition timing.

A set of original chain adjusters accompany the sale along with a Rickman assembly and parts book, the Kerker baffle, and some spares.
