Tribute bike unveiled in Japan

Posted : 13-03-2007

Motorcycle legend Freddie Spencer is being celebrated with the launch of a limited edition bike designed by Honda.

However, only 300 of the beauties are being produced, all to be sold in Japan for a snip at £3,500, reports Motorcycle News.

But there's nothing wrong with dreaming, which is easy to do with the Honda CB750, based on Spencer's racing bikes during the 1970s and 1980s.

In a beautiful chrome colour, the model has a glossy blue and black design with all the perfect trimmings offered by Honda.

Spencer rode the company's bikes until 1989 when he switched to a Yamaha before finishing off his career on a Ducati.

He won the World Championships three times - firstly in 1983 and then twice in 1985 in both the 250cc and 500cc classes.

The Louisiana-born legend now lives in Las Vegas where he runs his own motorcycle school.
