Honda CB750 KO - The original superbike NOW AVAILABLE UK REGISTERED AVAILABLE FOR SALE IN THE SHOWROOM Frame number CB750 1037610 Model History The Honda CB 750 ranks as one of the greatest and most important motorcycles in history, revolutionary in its day it set a new benchmark for both performance and reliability. Under development for a year the original CB750 had a transverse, straight-four engine with a single overhead camshaft (SOHC) and a front disc brake, neither of which was previously available on a mainstream, affordable, production motorcycle. Having a four-cylinder engine and disc brake, gave the CB750 a considerable sporting performance advantage over its competition, particularly its British rivals. Cycle magazine called the CB750, "the most sophisticated production bike ever", on the bike's introduction. Cycle World called it a masterpiece, highlighting Honda's painstaking durability testing, the bike's 120 mph top speed, the fade-free braking, the comfortable ride, and excellent instrumentation. The CB750 was the first modern four-cylinder machine from a mainstream manufacturer, and the term superbike was coined to describe it. Adding to the bike's value were its electric starter, engine kill switch, dual mirrors, flashing indicators, easily maintained valves, and overall smoothness and low vibration both under way and at a standstill. Much-later models from 1991 included maintenance-free hydraulic valves. Unable to accu Red, 1 owner, Superb Ducati - modern classic 900 SS, £11,000
