CB750

Honda is a Japanese automobile and motorcycle manufacturing company. Honda became a popular brand in the 1960’s because of small motorcycles the company sold. The Honda CB750 was introduced by Honda in 1969 and is often referred to as the worlds first superbike. Owners looking to maintain or restore one of these classic bikes should have a Honda CB750 workshop manual on hand.

The CB750 was powered by an transverse inline four cylinder engine featuring an overhead camshaft when Honda introduced the bike to the U.S. The Honda CB750 had a top speed of 120 miles per hour. The CB750 was the first production motorcycle to feature a transverse engine, front disc brake, and many other features that today are considered standard.

Honda introduced the CB750A in 1976. The A model was equipped with Honda’s Hondamatic semi-automatic transmission. The transmission still required that the rider shift gears using the foot shifter, but eliminated the clutch. The transmission was based on a similar system used in Honda’s Japanese Kei cars.

Honda revised the original CB engine for 1979 and introduced the bike with a new dual overhead cam engine that improved upon the already legendary performance and ride characteristics of the CB750. The CB750 remained in production until 2003, and a special “throwback” model was introduced by Honda Japan in 2007. Those bikes were sold only in the home market.

Riders love the CB750 for it’s smooth and vibration-free ride, ease of maintenance, and classic good looks. The CB750 set a standard for all other performance street motorcycle manufacturing companies and established Honda as the go-to for factory performance motorcycling.

The Honda CB750 is a sought after collectible motorcycle today, with high-quality original spec bikes bringing large sums from collectors. Many thousands of CB750 motorcycles were produced during the 34 years the bike remained in production. Some models, such as the first and second generation Hondamatic bikes are exceedingly rare and valuable.
