Man, that sound brings back memories. Dad had one back in the ‘70s when I was a little kid. It seemed like all of his friends and practically every dad (and one mom!) in the neighborhood had comparably-displaced Japanese bikes of a similar style. My uncle had a big Harley cruiser and was the odd duck.
I was a senior in high school when the CB-750 came out, and it was a seismic shift in the motorcycle world. If you were not around when it came out, I can assure you that it was immediately obvious that the motorcycle industry was at major turning point. You were either going to have to come out with a four cylinder bike, or you would be out of business. Triumph thought it could get by with the Trident triple, but as history shown, it was a bad gamble. Even after all of these years, the CB-750 is still a great motorcycle that I would prefer to have over most new over-styled sportbikes.
This motorcycle embodies my father. When I was 9 years old he put me on the back of his ‘74 Honda Cb750 four. And I have been hooked on two wheels for the rest of my life. I’m 40 now. And own 4 bikes of my own. But this bike is a monument to dad. Rest in peace old man. I love this video❤
I had a 74 750 bought new in Miami Fl and rode that bike to Middletown NY no issues at all and never got tired. I did modify it some with 6 inch extended forks and a higher lift cam, bigger jets in the 4 carbs and Hooker 4 into one headers and a Harley back wheel and rode silky smoothe and 75 MPH all day from sunup to sundown
My uncle just gave me a cb750. It's the bike that my dad(passed away 8 years ago) painted in the 80s. 10,000 original miles. Super excited to start working on it. First time getting into bikes, but looking forward to the challenge
I loved the turn signal beepers back in the 70s. I have a habit now days of pushing the turn sigal reset after every light or stop. I'm going to look at getting a beeper for Chirpy's signals, LOL.
Hello from Milwaukee! Love this color. Same as my 73 cb500. I want one of these to match. Second or third time watching this.. hope you guys are doing well.
Back in the day everyone threw away the original exhaust and put "Kirker" four into one's on them. I never understood why. Being a 16 year old and my first purchase of a 1974 CB 750K in teal was a dream bike for me. Luckily I never got killed on it. Fastest I ever went on it was racing a 65 Corvette on the 405 Fwy. At 130 mph the Vette left me! I did find out at that speed the suspension was mush. A little side tidbit. The original grips on those were air filled and sort of football shaped but very comfortable.
In the 70s many guys thru the exhaust in the dumpster in place of drag pipes and either chopped or semi chopped these CB4 Hondas. Even twins were being chopped. I know, I was there.
I had a very original 71 CB450 that was rather cold blooded as well. But I was 19 and definately wasnt doin stuff right. You need vacuum guages to tune em right. Sometimes 2x2 and then all 4 together, but seriously the quality on those 60s and 70s Honda motorcycles was night and day in comparison to a 72 Sportster I had at the time.
Sweet bike. I have a 75 CB750 that's been bullet proof so far. If you're looking for a reliable vintage bike, a CB750 (or any 70's Honda CB is a good way to go.) The CB750 is lightest clutch of any bike I've owned, including my 2017 Moto Guzzi V7iii. It's the easiest to find neutral of any bike I've owned (I never have to mess around trying to find neutral.) My one complaint, and it's more of an observation than a complaint...it has a very stiff throttle. I don't know if that's the way they all are.
Apparently Honda bringing out a modern classic the GB750 270°parallel twin using the same engine in the Honda Transalp & Hornet 750.755cc 90hp 75Nm. The CB bikes are worth alot nowadays especially the 400.

I owned a 1973 CB500K1 yes they all are nice riding machines.

Good educational CB docu sir !
We had an '81 CB750 that my wife rode. She loved that bike and it could fly! Great looking bike that you have there!
Very cool!
70’s CB750’s are such great bikes
Nice ride around. Lovely looking bike.
Thanks 👍

Where can you even find them anymore? I have looked all over!
@@dylanplumley280I have one, I’m in Canada. Same colour. I can make a video.

Very nice motorcycle.
My 79 750F has 65k on the clock, with more to come once I replace the countershaft seal. Other motorcycles are manufactured...Hondas are engineered!
I miss my 550four.
And they do customers right!
I’m in Canada and we ride in pretty cool weather. Good video and new sub.
Thanks for the sub!
Just like the new one I had ! $2000 new !
Nice video!
I got a kick out of you talking with your hand… makes me wonder if the drivers thought you were cursing them, or that you lost your mind.
Dillan I live in Cleveland Ohio so I know what you mean about the weather
I had the exact same bike....😢😊
There were some sand cast cb750s made not many very sought after
The first 7,414 CB750s are referred to as “sandcast” but the engine cases were not actually cast in sand. That is a common misunderstanding.
That a sturgis sitting there at the beginning?
Yes, 1981.
Is this bike available for sale?!
This one has sold. It we have a very similar 1973 in the exact same color scheme for sale.
After 1972 the Honda CB750's drop in horsepower made it disappointing. Went from 72hp to 55hp. Just like cars became disappointing so motorcycles.
Great Alround bike does everything well! Except its got no soûl and Boring to ride prefer the Commando or Ducati myself
You talk to much!
