The Honda CB750F Motorcycle first appeared on the Japanese market in
June 1979 and was shortly the best seller in the 750 motorcycle class.
Just ten years prior to their CB750F, Honda opened the field of
multi-cylinder, large-bore bikes with the now famous four cylinder
CB750. Honda had extensively tested the multi-cylinder concept and won
several Grand Prix motorcycle races, and the CB750 was based upon these
experiences. The engines worked flawlessly and provided very smooth
power with almost no vibration, and so shocked the industry, that soon
many of the famous makers also produced four cylinder large cubic
motorcycles. Honda, of course, held the number one position in sales
for many years, but then Kawasaki released their "Z" series DOHC 750
bikes, and took over the number one position, relegating Honda to 2nd
place. Honda, however, did not take this set back for long, and
continued to improve their engines, and in 1979 released a CB 750K DOHC
with four valves per cylinder, a powerful 68hp, and completely new body
styling. It was not long before Honda was again number one! The CB750F,
released in June 1979 was styled after the very popular European Honda
CB900F, which had been copied from their racing RCB bike. This styling
was new to stock motorcycles of the world. The low positioned handle
bars and rear positioned foot rests, allow a "slouched" riding position
and this style is what set the standard for the eighties.
The CB750F is powered by a 4 cylinder DOHC 748cc engine with 4 valves
per cylinder, and the 1981 version produces 70 brake horsepower. The
bike has a double cradle frame of welded steel tubing, 37mm air front
forks with equalizer and 30 way adjustable rear shocks with variable
hydraulic dampening. It is equipped with a maintenance-free
transistorized pointless inductive ignition system and braking is
accomplished with a dual caliper double disc front brake and a large
single disc at the rear. A newly designed racing type front fender with
spoiler has proved to be very effective and popular among bike
enthusiasts. The overall styling of that unveiled in 1979, with the
smooth flowing lines from tank to tail light have been retained, and it
is likely that this fine motorcycle will keep the Honda Company number
one for years to come.
