The Honda CB750 is a motorcycle built in several model series between 1969 and 2003 and 2007 that is recognized as a milestone for Honda's successful introduction of a transverse, overhead camshaft inline four-cylinder engine that has ever since been the dominant sport bike configuration. Though MV Agusta had sold such a model in 1965, and it had been used in racing engines before World War II, the CB750 is recognized as the four-cylinder sport bike that had a lasting impact and is often called the first superbike.[4][5] The model is included in the AMA Hall of Fame Classic Bikes,[6][7] the Discovery Channel's "Greatest Motorbikes Ever,"[8] and was in The Art of the Motorcycle exhibition,[4] and is in the UK National Motor Museum.[9] 4 Specifications5 References6 External links[edit] History Honda of Japan introduced the CB750 motorcycle to the US and European markets in 1969 after experiencing success with their smaller motorcycles. The bike was targeted directly at the US market after Honda officials, including founder Soichiro Honda, repeatedly met with US dealers and understood the opportunity for a larger bike.[10] Under development for a year,[11] the CB750 offered two unprecedented features, a front disc brake and a transverse straight-4 engine with an overhead camshaft, neither of which was previously available on a mainstream, affordable production bike. These two features, along with the introductory price of US$1,495[12] (US$8,956 in current money), gave the CB750 a considerable advantage over its competition, particularly its British rivals. Cycle magazine called the CB750 "the most sophisticated production bike ever" upon its introduction.[12] Cycle World called it a masterpiece, highlighting Honda's painstaking durability testing, the bike's 120 mph (190 km/h) top speed, the fade-free performance of the braking, the comfortable ride and excellent instrumentation.[11] The CB750 was the first modern four-cylinder machine from a mainstream manufacturer,[13] and the term superbike was coined to describe it.[7][3] The bike offered other important features that added to its compelling value: electric starter, kill switch, dual mirrors, flashing turn signals, easily maintained valves and overall smoothness and freedom from vibration both underway and at a standstill; later models (1991 on) included maintenance-free hydraulic valves. On the other hand, the bike was difficult to get on its center stand and tended to throw chain oil onto its muffler. Unable to gauge demand for the new bike accurately, Honda limited its initial investment in the production dies for the CB750 by using a technique called permanent mold casting (often erroneously referred to as sandcasting) rather than diecasting for the engines[citation needed] – unsure of the bike's reception. The bike remained in the Honda lineup for ten years, with sales totaling over 400,000 in its life span.[14] The CB750 is sometimes referred to as a Universal Japanese Motorcycle or UJM.[3][15] The Discovery Channel ranked the Honda CB750 third among the top ten greatest motorbikes of all time.[8][edit] Models[edit] SOHC 1969 CB750K or CB750K01971 CB750K11972 CB750K21973 CB750K3 (US-only, K2 elsewhere)1974 CB750K4 (US/Japan-only, K2 elsewhere)1975 CB750K5 (US-only, K2/K4 elsewhere), CB750F, CB750A (Canada-only)[17] The 1975 CB750F had a more streamlined look, thanks in part to a 4-into-1 exhaust and cafe style seat with fiberglass rear. Other changes included the use of a rear disc brake and a lighter crankshaft and flywheel.1976 CB750K6, CB750F1, CB750A1977 CB750K7, CB750F2, CB750A11978 CB750K8 (US-only), CB750F3, CB750A2[edit] DOHC1979–1982 CB750K1979 CB750K 10th Anniversary Edition (5,000 produced for U.S.)1979–1982 CB750F1980–1982 CB750C "Custom"1982–1983 CB750SC Nighthawk1984–1986 CB750SC Nighthawk (Horizon in Japan) (CB700SC Nighthawk "S" in U.S.)1992-1997 CB750F21991–2003 CB750 Nighthawk2007 CB750 (Japan-only)[edit] CB750A HondamaticCB750AAlso calledHondamaticProduction1976–1978[18]Engine736.6 cc (44.95 cu in) inline-four, SOHC air-cooledBore / Stroke61 × 63 mm (2.4 × 2.5 in)Compression ratio7.7:1Power47 hp (35 kW) @ 7,500 rpm[18]Torque5.0 kg·m (49 N·m; 36 ft·lbf) @ 6,000 rpm[18]Ignition typeCoilTransmissionTwo speed, w/torque converter, chainBrakesFront: 296 mm (11.7 in) disc Rear: 180 mm (7.1 in) drumTiresFront: 3.5" x 19" Rear: 4.5" x 17"
