The Honda CB750 Freddie Spencer Limited Edition
In May 2007, Honda launched a variant of the legendary CB750 as a tribute to former world champion Freddie Spencer in the form of a new limited-edition CB750.
The bike, which was only for Japan, features paintwork derived from Spencers AMA race bikes from the late 1970s and early 1980s. Only 300 will be made, with orders taken for just one month - after April 10 it will no longer be possible to buy one.
In Japan, the bike costs just £3500/ $5500, so all 300 machines have been snapped up by collectors over there, with little chance of any being exported.
