Just when you idea you’d seen each feasible model of Honda’s iconic CB750, right here’s any other: the outstanding-uncommon CB750P/K0 Police version. The extremely good motorcycle proven here's a 1970 example owned through a collector in Japan, and it’s a sensitive antidote to the overblown style of its Harley-Davidson and Moto Guzzi contemporaries.
The mixed headlight/speedometer is derived from a layout created for the CB77-based Superhawk ‘complete get dressed’ Police motorcycles, and a blue light is built into the box geared up in the back of the stubby solo seat. The siren (bottom image) is a cable-pushed mechanical object, brought about through a 2d lever underneath the grab lever; a friction drum is forced against the rotating rear tire to set off the siren. There are crash bars on the the front and rear, however they’re so discreetly incorporated into the layout you slightly notice them. I’d take this sort of over a checker-striped CB750 custom any day.
