Honda Cb750 Four
The Honda CB750 Four was introduced in 1969 at the Tokyo Motor Show and went on sale in 1969-1970, widely regarded as the world's first modern superbike and a pivotal moment in motorcycle history. It featured an inline four-cylinder engine, front disc brake, and 360-degree firing order at a time when most motorcycles used single or twin-cylinder engines, effectively rendering many British and European competitors obsolete. Its combination of performance, reliability, and relatively affordable pricing revolutionized the motorcycle industry and earned it the nickname 'The Original Superbike'.

What Buyers Should Know
Legendary Engine Reliability
The CB750's SOHC inline-four engine is renowned for running 50,000+ miles with basic maintenance. Regular oil changes and valve adjustments are the key to keeping it running strong for decades.
Watch the Carburetors
The four carburetors are the most common headache on used examples — ethanol-blend fuels cause gumming and jet corrosion if left sitting. Always ask for a recent carb sync and inspect for fuel leaks before buying.
Strong Collector Resale Value
As the bike widely credited with launching the modern superbike era, clean original CB750s consistently hold and appreciate in value. Unmodified, numbers-matching examples from the early 1970s command a significant premium.
