Straight from the streets of Japan, With styling borrowed
from 1970s endurance racers, the Type Motorimoda, designed by one Shinichiro
Arakawa, is fitted with a standard CB750’s carburetted, air-cooled,
four-cylinder engine. With a replacement exhaust system and careful tuning,
power output is a claimed 20bhp up on the stock CB, which means it’s probably
around 85bhp now.
With its handmade aluminium fuel tank, custom fabricated 4-2-1 exhaust system
and long list of carbonfibre parts, the CB750 Café Type Motorimoda weighs 220
kilos – 15kg less than a stock CB750. At 2.7 million Yen (US$29,700), it’s
certainly not cheap!
