The Honda CB750 is an air-cooled, transverse, in-line-four-cylinder-engine motorcycle made by Honda over several generations for year models 1969–2008 with an upright, or standard, riding posture.
British bikes, particularly Triumphs, were also a popular motor for choppers early on. As the Japanese manufacturers began offering larger engines in the late 1960s these motors were also quickly put to use by chopper builders. The Honda 750-4 was the most widely used Japanese motor for early chopper builders.

At the 1978 IFMA in Cologne the new CB 750 was presented as the successor to the CB 750 four for Europe and available for sale later that year. With a new DOHC engine design and numerous other new features it was presented as "what happens when you keep winning races". [4]
In the early 1980s, most dual-sport motorcycles had only one cylinder and weighed about 120 to 150 kilos - compared to them, the XLV with its 220 kilos (fully fueled) seemed to be unfit for sporty off-road driving. [2] [3] At the launch, several journalists crashed the heavy bike on the motocross track, for which it was entirely unsuited. [4]
The special episode was meant to be a bonding experience for the adversarial father and son who have not built a bike together in over a decade. ‘American Chopper’ reunion was a big letdown ...
Honda also developed a limited edition VFR, the Honda RC30, as a homologation racing platform. This motorcycle achieved some racing success, but the introduction of very light inline-four motorcycles by competing firms led Honda to downgrade its racing plans. Honda's VF model lineup had engine capacities ranging from 400 cc to 1,000 cc.
This is usually distinguished by using Honda's internal model code of RC40. One of the most expensive road motorcycles yet offered for sale, a limited number of the NR models (300 examples) were sold in 1992 with a 750 cc version of the engine, capable of developing approximately 130 PS (96 kW; 128 bhp) at 14,000 rpm in standard form.
