The iconic Honda CB750 Four’s launch not only showcased Japan’s prowess in crafting high-performance, large-capacity motorcycles but also catalyzed a vibrant aftermarket ecosystem for performance-enhancing and customizing components. In the 1970s, numerous CB750 models were modified into popular custom styles such as choppers and café racers.
A one-of-a-kind creation, “Sentoh,” was crafted by AFT Customs for the 2011 World Championships of Customized Bike Building in Sturgis, South Dakota. This custom motorcycle, modeled after a 1975 design, underwent extensive modifications, featuring a reworked perimeter-style body that incorporates a suspended gasoline tank and a rear seat cowl serving as an oil tank. The engine was refitted with an 836cc componentry package, featuring a solitary Mikuni fuel injector coupled to a bespoke quad-barrel intake system. Crafted with precision, sidewinder-style head pipes wrap elegantly around the body, parallel to the cylinders, ultimately giving rise to distinctive Leo Vince exhaust canisters.
The bike’s advanced suspension system featured inverted Yamaha YZF-R1 forks at the front and high-performance Race Tech shocks at the rear, all functioning through a robust braced swingarm that allowed for precise handling and control. High-performance Brembo brakes, featuring a six-piston caliper at the front, deliver reliable and secure braking performance to Sentoh.
