Honda CB750 Phil Read factory replica. CONCOURS Probably the best example in the world FULLY UK LICENSED MODEL HISTORY Motorcycle manufacturers are all ?for profit? organisations and any trick they can employ to shift a few more bikes they will undoubtedly take, limited editions are one way to go and other is the ?race replica? and here you have one of the very, if not the very first examples of the breed. In order to celebrate their Isle of Man TT victory Honda decided to have a series of race replicas built, so they commissioned Colin Seeley?s legendary company to convert otherwise stock CB 750 F2s into official Phil Read Replicas. Seeley?s team fitted a double beam full fairing with Cibie headlights, a hand-formed 5 gallon alloy fuel tank, racing-style rear sets, a new single seat and rear cowl, a custom high-performance exhaust, and it was all finished off in the same red/white/blue colour scheme used by the Honda Britain Racing Team. Only 150 or so bikes were built before a disagreement between Phil Read and Honda killed the project. Colin Seeley remained undeterred, and slightly redesigned the model, then continued selling it as the Honda Britain, with Honda selling them as the CB750SS. This machine. Oh my, here?s something a little special. I spend an unhealthy amount of time looking at motorcycles, I believe that the way a motorcycle looks is only slightly less important than how it actually performs, particularly in the classic s.
