== Overview ==

Honda CBX 750F



























The release of the CBX marked the
end of 15 years of uninterrupted CB750/4 production, involving countless
revisions, new engines and updates. Honda were the first to launch an inline
750/4 - the original superbike -back in 1969. It used a SOHC, eight valve
engine and produced 67bhp. For comparison, the CBX750 features a DOHC, 16
valve engine and produces 91bhp.







The CBX differs from its many
predecessors in some significant ways. The top end of the motor is
remarkable for employing hydraulic tappets, hardly a new idea
(Harley-Davidson have used them for decades) but unique on a Japanese
production motorcycle. The advantage to the owner in not having to set 16
valve clearances is obvious. Honda have added thin-stemmed lightweight
valves making for less reciprocating weight.






Weight saving and compact design
are in evidence everywhere on the engine. Its width was reduced by placing
the big 320W alternator behind the cylinders instead of spinning on the
crank end. Height was reduced by making the sump shallower and redeploying
the front frame tubes as oil carriers, a novel redistribution that actually
increases the total oil capacity. Finally, Honda pruned the engine length by
dispensing with the jackshaft between crank and clutch. Primary drive is by
direct gear from the crank; one of the crank webs has been turned into a
gear pinion.
Engine performance is marked by
smoothness and excellent tractability. The CBX makes good low-down power
aided by some low gearing. The mid-range is a bit flat and lacks snap but
acceleration is very healthy at the top end, above 8,000rpm. The bike is so
smooth and uncannily quiet at speed that Honda deemed it necessary to fit a
rev limiter that cuts in at 10,800rpm.
The engine's compactness means
that it can be mounted lower in the frame, partially compensating for its
inherent top heaviness. The steering is very quick, and handling and
roadholding are exceptionally good for a bike of this size and weight.





The CBX is genuinely flickable,
largely because of its low frontal area and careful weight distribution
(48.6/ 51.4 front and rear). It is stable up to top speed though the smart
and sleek half-fairing is more of a sports cockpit than a touring
windcheater. The dual headlights are a bonus for any road user, 120W of
sharp illumination on dip or main beams.
the bike is a shade quicker
and more powerful than the V4 VF750 which was also released early in 1984.








In 1983, Honda replaces the Honda CB 750 FC by
a new model, CBX 750, even more oriented sport. This model comes in
addition to the VF 750 S 4-cylinder V-giving birth to the line of VFR.

The CBX 750 catches the eye with these wheels Comstar black, black engine,
its line of black and chrome exhaust (a four in both), its top fairing of
his shoe, and his two square headlights. The line is similar to that of
the VF 750.

Its engine is derived from the engine of CBX 650. In this engine, it
retains the dual cam shaft and four valves per cylinder. The displacement
of 750 cm3 was obtained by increasing the bore (from 60 to 67 mm) and a
decrease in the race (from 58 to 53 mm). The carburetors have gone from 32
to 34 mm in diameter, but the compression ratio was reduced to 9,3:1. This
engine is very compact with the postponement of the generator behind
cylinder block. Also to have a more compact engine possible, the frame is
used in part as a reservoir of oil. This has reduced the size of the oil
sump and thus to install the engine very low in the frame, but also
contributes to better oil cooling.

Another typical engine of its low maintenance. In addition to the
electronic ignition, Honda has equipped the engine of a remedial hydraulic
valve.

The finish is the machine is good. The scoreboard is integrated into the
upper fairing and includes a counter, a tower, a voltmeter and a fuel
gauge.

If at its output, the machine could be classified among the 750
successful, Suzuki will dethrone quickly with his GSX R 750. To follow
this course to radicalization, Honda fate in 1985 CBX 750 F-II or Bol d'Or,
whose main developments concerning the replacement of the fairing Top of
hoof and a full fairing, completely obscuring the engine. It will however
be marketed until 1987. It was not until 1992 to see again a 4-cylinder
in-line 750 cm3: the Honda CB Seven Fifty.
