Die Cast Cool - Tamiya Honda CB750


If you're looking for the ultimate toy for your motorcycle obsessed kid or something ultra cool to sit on your office desk check this out.


Easliy one of the best motorcycle models available, Tamiya's 1/6th scale Honda CB750 semi assembled premium model is the ducks nuts.

"On March 15, 1970 at the worlds largest production motorcycle race the Daytona 200, the Honda Motorcycle Group entered its racing version of the CB750. With an average lap speed of 164.3km/h, the CB750 went on to set a new course record. Pumping out 95ps/9500rpm with a top speed of 240km/h, the racing CB750 continued its winning form not only in Japan but also abroad, becoming the standard where other high performance motorcycles would grade themselves against.



This is a Semi-Assembled Honda CB750 Racing model. 1/6, Length:348mm, Width:92mm. Each part not requiring gluing can be easily assembled with bolts. Air cooled inline 4 cylinder engine, Keihin carburetors, oil cooler, and chain are all realistically reproduced. Front and rear wheels are set on aluminum hub and rims with stainless steel spokes. Fitted with fuel tank and racing seat. Dressing and undressing of the cowling can be done easily. High quality assembled aluminum stand. Screwdriver and tweezer included. "



The Tamiya Honda CB750 model comes complete with a small tool kit to fit the front forks, wheel and brakes, rear shocks, seat, tank and fairing and it all comes packaged in a beautiful collectors style case. With a price tag of over $300USD it's definately a special treat but I have to say I'd never grow tired of stripping it down and rebuilding it. Read more at the Tamiya website.
