If I were to ask you what bike comes to mind when you hear the word “superbike” chances are a lot of you would think of a modern-day supersport. Perhaps a Ducati Panigale or BMW S 1000 RR. However, it’s widely accepted that the word “superbike” was first used to describe the Honda CB750 Four, a bike that, back in 1968, set a whole new standard in the two-wheeled world.
The Honda CB750 Four would go down in history as one of the most iconic bikes of all time. Indeed, if not for this bike, we wouldn’t have many of the bikes we see today. Back then, it wasn’t just all about performance, but reliability, efficiency, and design. Fast forward more than 50 years later, the Honda CB750 Four still looks perfectly at home with today’s crop of neo-retro and classic machines. In fact, it’s revered by many, and is a collection piece for diehard enthusiasts.
