In 1969 Honda launched a motorcycle that many consider to be the world's
first superbike. The Honda CB750 had the first mass-produced 4-cylinder
inline engine, a single overhead camshaft with four carburettors, a
4-into-4 exhaust system, and came with electric start and front disc
brakes as standard. This specification set the bar higher than ever
before on a production motorcycle, and led to other Japanese
manufacturers introducing their own 4-cylinder models. Following the
success of the original CB750, Honda went on to produce a range of
motorcycles using SOHC 4-cylinder engines. All with their own
characteristics, they proved to be reliable and smooth running, and even
today, with the correct care, can offer reliable transport on modern
roads. Now, with some examples over 40 years old, many enthusiasts wish
to restore these classic machines. This book will guide the enthusiast
through a full restoration of these fine classic motorcycles.
