Honda introduced the CB 750 Four in 1969. That year can be considered the beginning of a new era for modern motorcycling: 4-cylinder, 4-stroke, 67 horsepower, 750cc displacement, front disc brake, 4 beautiful chrome exhausts, speed close to 200 km/h; an impressive set of 4 carburettors, electric as well as kick start. The lines are well designed and very elegant. Great attention is given to details and paint. All these features combined all in one bike. It was a revolution! The blue paint with gold band and side panels matching makes our Four very classy. The qualities in riding this bike are excellent: you can instinctively feel its balance and how easy it is to ride, especially with little experience, as it is quite fluid and flexible. The 5 gears are on the left side, with the first gear down (like the modern bikes). The saddle is really comfortable, even for the passenger. The chassis is also good, although not as precise as those of the Italian competitors, yet allows path corrections in complete harmony. The engine is brilliant, has a great torque and is fluid enough to allow you to enjoy a smooth ride; a grand turismo bike that stands out for its reliability and style! To manage the heavy weight of this maxi bike, a bit of physical strength is recommended. But while riding the weight is secondary to the ride itself.
