MD Bike of the Century - Part Two
That was then, and this is now (as they say). The 1969 Honda CB 750K is a quaint machine to those who view it out of context in the modern era of motorcycling. They will never understand how this bike affected people, from kids to seasoned motorcycle enthusiasts, when it was introduced to the world.

1977 CB750 Test Report
Honda's response to the brilliant big-bike technology of its competition is distinct specialization within the 750 class. During the time before their rumored fleet of new V-configuration engines reaches production, specialization of existing F and K models will allow Honda to compete stronger than ever with Suzuki's GS, Yamaha's shafty and the Kawasaki fours. Those models offer one choice to the whole spectrum of potential big-bike buyers, so the tourer and cafe charger - two distinct markets - are combined. But neither bike is so finely specialized that it loses overall versatility. Both will rip through the mountains at handcuff speeds or quietly tour across a continent. Revisions deftly conceal the age of the Honda Four (eight years) just at a time when it was beginning to show. The entire package weighs 553 pounds - 27 pounds more than the first CB750 in 1969 and 10 pounds more than the heavily muffled four-piper K model - hardly a desirable situation for a performance oriented "Super Sport" machine. Where does this weight come from? There are 10 pounds in the extra pair of steel disc rotors alone, plus the weight of their calipers, plus the heavier chain, plus the never-ending irony of having to beef up existing designs to compensate for more weight and more horsepower. Remember when a gas tank only had a cap? Now it's got a folding door, a lock, a sunken compartment, hinges, springs, chains on the gas cap and an elaborate overflow system.

The gossip before the introduction was that Honda would be producing a 750 twin. As it turned out, the new 750 Four bore a close resemblance to the Honda 500cc GP racing machine. Honda had the technology to produce dual overhead cam engines, as in the CB450, but chose the SOHC design for compactness. This machine really had a pivotal influence on Honda's future. The gamble in producing it clearly paid off. The original engine produced ample power, at around 67 horses at 8000rpm, and was very smooth. It was quite a departure from the popular big bore machines offered by the British Manufacturers.

1974 Honda CB750 (K4)
Still a fun bike to ride and a great daily driver. Virtually indescructible. It doesn't compare well with modern bikes as it is too heavy and the brakes, while state-of-the-art in 1974, are barely adequate today. If you ever had a fondness for the CB750 you'll grin big when riding one. It is no exaggeration to say the Honda CB750 is the most significant motorcycle ever made and altered the world of motorcycling forever. Prior to the CB750 you had two choices in motorcycles: You could have a small, reliable Japanese bike or you could have a larger, faster but unreliable bike. The British motorcycle industry, notorious for unreliable motorcycles and already on the ropes, was finally put out of their misery. This bike and its successors very nearly put Harley-Davidson out of business too. The CB750 raised the bar in the industry.

They all said that it would be "too complex", or "too heavy" or "too expensive". They were all wrong and Honda managed to show them all, with a sohc four-cylinder production motorcycle that required less maintenance than the typical English single, and at 480 pounds weighted less than some twins at the time. In a market previously dominated by smaller-displacement singles and twins, Honda introduced a large-displacement, transverse, air-cooled, inline four-cylinder and as suddenly the 1969 class of one.
