From 1971, T120 models used a new frame which contained the engine oil instead of using a separate tank (this became known as the oil in frame/'OIF' version). A five-speed gearbox finally was fully available by 1972, but competition from larger-capacity motorcycles led to the T120 being superseded by the 750 cc Bonneville T140.
Motorcycles with a V-twin engine mounted with its crankshaft mounted in line with the frame, e.g. the Honda CX series, are said to have "transverse" engines, [1] [2] while motorcycles with a V-twin mounted with its crankshaft mounted perpendicular to the frame, e.g. most Harley-Davidsons, are said to have "longitudinal" engines.
The frame and engine of the motorcycle is lifted directly from new XL750 Transalp; the new engine being a 755cc DOHC 8-valve liquid-cooled parallel twin with an output of 90.5 hp @ 9,500 rpm and 55.3 lb.-ft. @ 7,250 rpm. [45] It is also the first CB750 to use Honda's PGM-FI fuel system. The CB750 Hornet is currently sold for European, Australia ...
The Triumph Bonneville T140 is a standard motorcycle with a 750 cc (46 cu in) capacity engine that was designed and built by Triumph Engineering at Meriden near Coventry.. The T140 was a continuation of the second generation in the Bonneville series developed from the earlier 650 cc (40 cu in) T120 Bonneville and was produced by Triumph in a number of versions, including limited editions, from ...
Other technical highlights at the time of introduction were the dry sump lubrication system (with the main frame acting as an oil tank, helping to lower engine temperatures [5]), the three valves per cylinder (two inlet valves / one exhaust valve), the two spark plugs per cylinder, and the crankshaft with off-set pins.

The engine is a liquid cooled 805 cc (49.1 cu in) in a 45° V-twin. It has 5-speed manual gearbox and a shaft drive. Overall, the C50 is 2,500 mm (98 in) long, with a 700 mm (28 in) seat height. It has a 16 L; 3.4 imp gal (4.1 US gal) fuel tank, front disc and rear drum brakes, and rider floorboards. [3]
The reduction in fuel tank capacity from 22 L (4.8 imp gal; 5.8 US gal) on the previous VFR800 down to 18.5 L (4.1 imp gal; 4.9 US gal) on the VFR1200F has been the main complaint raised by motorcyclists, coupled with the new engine's higher-than-expected fuel consumption.
The Laverda 750 is a 744 cc (45.4 cu in) air cooled SOHC 4 stroke parallel twin motorcycle produced by the Italian manufacturer Laverda from 1968 to 1976. Developed from the company's 650, the engine's design drew heavily from the Honda CB77. Around 18,000 machines were produced. [4]
