The Matchbox Honda CB750 Police Motorcycle was first released in 1977 and was produced in about 13 different variations. The casting is closely related to the Hondarora Motorcycle, but rather than plastic, steerable handlebars, it has fixed handlebars that are part of the metal casting. It appears to use the same engine and exhaust molding, but the Police Motorcycle has a different plastic seat with molded side compartments. And, of course, the plastic rider (optional on the Hondarora) is a uniformed policeman. This example with Police labels is another of my Wichita eBay finds.
