Several years back (maybe 3) I went into a local dealership with a friend to pick up his new UTV. While he was taking care of the paperwork, I wandered around looking at the different toys on the showroom floor. One thing that really caught my eye was a BN retro CB750. Been toying with the idea of buying another bike and thought I would check prices on one of these, new if still available or used if not. I cannot find a single thing about it.  Has anyone else happened to see one or am I truly losing my mind and just imagined it?  Dealership is local to me and I think I'm going to ride over there for my own sanity.  Tim

Nice but I would have sworn it was a factory-built Honda CB750, thinking it was styled like a mid-70s model. Maybe I did imagine it.  Tim

I would go back to the dealership that you saw it at to ask them about it. If you come up empty, then I would try to contact the main Honda US headquarters.
I would still get with the Honda corporate even if the dealer guys say none were ever built . That way you get solid answer.

Top one is very close but it definitely was a 750. Had the laced wheels and I want to say (almost positive) that it had the 4 pipes/mufflers like the older CB's had, just don't remember if was like the '76 (1st pic) or the '81.

I have not seen the CB750 retro. The orginal CB750 Four was a nice bike in its day... But my 2003 Suzuki Burgman Scooter will blow it away, Drag race, cornering or top speed.
I did ride the CB900 Retro 1100cc and it was nice for Old School look and feel.
For a nice Retro look and modern tech inside, Fuel Injected, I am looking at the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650cc or the INT650.
