- motorcycle model, Honda brand,
The model of the classic road motorcycle Honda CB 750 begins its history in 1969, but the most interesting and used models are still those starting from 1991 and produced until 2003 (for the Japanese market - until 2008). The appearance of this model was due to Honda’s desire to compete with the then popular Kawasaki Zephyr 750 model.
In 2007, Honda decided to resurrect the legendary motorcycle by releasing the Honda CB 750 Special Edition in silver colors. This version of the motorcycle was sold only in Japan.
A special feature of the Honda CB 750 is an in-line 4-cylinder air-oil-cooled engine with a capacity of 747 cc. see, producing 73 hp. power and almost 62 Nm of torque. The engine is equipped with hydraulic compensators and does not require periodic adjustment of valve clearances.

Honda CB 750 review
Initially, the Honda SV motorcycle was intended for sale in Europe and America, since the Honda brand occupied a leading position in the production and supply of motor vehicles in the world. Accordingly, the technical characteristics of the Honda St 750 were far ahead of its competitors.

The racing career of the bike will soon begin, which made it possible to analyze and eliminate the shortcomings of the Honda SB 750 line. The manufacturers managed to achieve the title of one of the best motorcycles in the world for their development.
