When Honda introduced their new CB750 motorcycle model to the world in 1969 it was seen as a revelation by many. A powerful and relatively easy to maintain 736cc air-cooled in-line four cylinder engine was at the heart of the bike but the inclusion of many other features, such as an electric starter, ensured their rapidly growing popularity; so rapid, according to some sources, that it caught Honda by surprise. So good was the bike that it reputedly birthed the term 'superbike' and its popularity was responsible for the U.J.M. epitaph - Ubiquitous Japanese Motorcycle - as everyone seemed to have one. At over 110,000 units produced it's easy to understand why. The popularity of the CB750 has been recognised by Tamiya in both 1/12th and 1/6th scale kits with the former appearing in the catalogue during 1982 and remaining available ever since. There just happens to be one in my stash... There's plenty reviews covering the contents of this box on-line so I'll not repeat the process but let's just say it's well filled We're not going fully out of the box with this one. I quite like the café racer style and the CB750 is a popular bike amongst those who do custom conversions so let's head down that road a little.

Hi This is a conversion of the Revell CB750 kit to a CB750KZ and is the first motorcycle conversion that I have attempted. I used to own one when I was younger and it was my pride and joy but, alas, I sold it so that I could get married (yep, it was worth it - but I kept all my gear just in case). It is not perfect by any means but gave me ideas for when I have another go at some point. Those in the know will notice that the real one had twin exhausts each side but I was not clever enough to attempt scratch building those yet. And, for a change, I did not add any lights...........
