1969 Honda CR & CRF

This 1969 Honda CR750 was reportedly raced by Gary Fisher for Krause Honda in AMA competition in the early 1970s and was acquired by its current owner from Krause Honda of Emmaus, Pennsylvania, in 2002. It was refurbished between 2003 and 2005 with work that included repainting the bodywork, rebuilding the 736cc inline-four, and overhauling the brakes. Equipment includes four Keihin carburetors, a four-into-one exhaust system, Koni rear shocks, clip-on handlebars, rear-set foot controls, dual front disc brakes, and a rear cowl. This CR750 was acquired by its current owner in April 2002 and is now offered on dealer consignment in British Columbia for off-road use only on a bill of sale. The bike was refinished in orange with white graphics and number plates to commemorate Dick Mann’s victory at the 1970 Daytona 200. Additional features include a front fairing, an integrated Gustafsson windscreen, rear-set foot controls, and aluminum oil tank, a two-piece black vinyl seat, and a race-style rear cowl. Wire-spoke 18″ wheels with shouldered alloy rims are mounted with Dunlop front and Metzeler rear slick tires. Suspension consists of a telescopic fork and dual preload-adjustable Koni shocks mounted to the swingarm. The bike is equipped with dual front discs and a rear drum that were cleaned and rebuilt during the refurbishment, and the brake fluid has been drained. Clip-on handlebars are mounted beneath the upper triple clamp aft of a sheet metal panel containing a 12k-rpm tachometer, an oil pressure gauge, and an indicator light. A piston-style steering damper is mounted to the lower triple clamp. The bike has no odometer, therefore true mileage is unknown. The 736cc SOHC inline-four features a lightened crankshaft, a high-lift camshaft, heavy-duty valve springs, a shaved and ported cylinder head, an oil cooler, four Keihin carburetors with velocity stacks as well as a four-into-one exhaust system said to have been built by Pops Yoshimura. Work during the refurbishment reportedly included draining the fuel tank, draining and cleaning the carburetors, cleaning and regrinding the valves, and replacing the crankshaft bearings, piston rings, cam chain, and oil filter. Power is sent to the rear wheel through a close-ratio five-speed transmission and a drive chain. The motorcycle does not have a title or registration and is being sold on a bill of sale only.
