In 1969 Honda introduced its flagship CB750 superbike, [12] [13] whose success led to Honda's domination of the motorcycle market.

If someone were to propose that the CB900F and the CB1100F should be in the same article, I would agree -- though you would then have to consider including the DOHC CB750F, the CB900C, and the CB1000C.
