"Honda CB750" (1970)
The Honda CB750, introduced in 1969 and widely
available by 1970, is often hailed as the first true "superbike" and a
motorcycle that revolutionised the industry. The CB750 was powered by a
736cc inline-four engine, a groundbreaking configuration for a
production motorcycle at the time. This engine produced 67bhp,
allowing the CB750 to reach speeds of over 120mph, a performance that
set new standards for the era. The bike was also equipped with a front
disc brake, another first for a production motorcycle, which provided
superior stopping power and contributed to its reputation for safety and
reliability. The CB750's combination of power, reliability, and
affordability made it an instant success, appealing to both casual
riders and performance enthusiasts. Its smooth, refined engine, electric
start, and overall user-friendly design made it accessible to a wide
range of riders. The Honda CB750 not only changed the face of
motorcycling but also established Honda as a dominant force in the
global motorcycle market. Today, the CB750 is celebrated as a classic,
revered for its impact on the industry and its enduring legacy as a
superbike pioneer.
