The Honda CBR750 is a motorcycle produced by Honda between 1987 and 1988.

History

[edit]

The CBR series launched in 1983 was a range of motorcycles with displacements of 250cc and 400cc, but in 1987, as the flagship model of the same series, a motorcycle of 750cc would debut exclusively for the Japanese domestic market.[1]

Specifications

[edit]

The engine, with a cubic capacity of 748 cm³, was a liquid-cooled four-cylinder in-line with double camshaft (DOHC: Double Overhead Camshaft) with 4 valves per cylinder for a total of 16.[2] Fitted with a six-speed gearbox, the CBR750 used a multi-disc wet clutch. The engine was housed on the steel frame which guaranteed strength and lightness at the same time. The front suspension used was an adjustable telescopic fork. At the rear, however, it mounted a single shock absorber which was also adjustable. The braking system consisted of three discs, of which the front ones were double. In 1988, the CBR750 underwent a series of changes and improvements.[3]
