Under development for one year, when finally introduced to the market, The CB750 offered two unprecedented features: its disc brake and its inline four cylinder engine -- neither of which were previously available on mainstream, affordable, production bikes. These two features, along with the bike's introductory price of $1495.00 (US), gave the CB750 considerable advantage over its competition, particularly its British rivals.

Cycle Magazine called the CB750 "the most sophisticated production bike ever" upon its introduction. Cycle World called the motorcycle a masterpiece, highlighting Honda's painstaking durability testing, the bike's 120mph top speed, the fade-free performance of the braking, the comfortable ride, and excellent instrumentation .

As the first modern four cylinder machine from a mainstream manufacturer, the term Superbike was coined to describe the CB750. The bike offered other important features, both great and small that added to its compelling value: electric starter, kill switch, dual mirrors, flashing turn signals, screw on oil filter, maintenance free valves and overall smoothness and freedom from vibration both underway and at a standstill. On the other hand, the bike was difficult to get on its center stand and tended to throw chain oil on its muffler.

==Nighthawk 750==


From 1991 through 2003, Honda produced a CB750 known as the Nighthawk 750. It is a more utilitarian machine, a useful and reliable model, notable for its low maintenance needs.


As sport-bikes and cruisers began to dominate the motorcycle marketplace in recent years, the Nighthawk was Honda's attempt to recapture the middle of the market with a "standard" or UJM (Universal Japanese Motorcycle) design. The bike never sold to its maker's lofty expectations.
In 2007, Honda Japan announced the sale of a new CB 750 very similar to the models sold in the 1970s. Announced were the CB 750 Special Edition (list price 798,000 yen) which is in the silver colors of the CB 750 AMA racer of the 1970s, and the CB 750 (list price 730,000 yen) in 3 color schemes reminiscent of CB 750s sold previously. As of August 2007, these bikes have only been announced for the Japan domestic market.
