Honda cbr 750 f

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki




The first CBR750's left the factory at the end of 1986 and production was stopped in mid 1988. Frame numbers started at RC27-1000001 for 1987 and RC27-5000001 for 1988 (if I'm not mistaken). Mine had number 1000253 and was one of the first series. The CBR was solely produced for the Japanese market. In 1987 it cost 789000 yen, something like 7500 euro at the time. A clear family member of the CBR-series and filling the gap for the Japanese rider in the class up to 750 cc. The driver's license in Japan is segmented into 4, for which you have to do exams respectively (up to 250, 400, 750 and over 750 cc). Taking into account that one exercise is to lift up a bike when it has tipped over and it explains why the 250 and 400 cc class are very popular in Japan... Anyhow, the CBR750 was introduced at the same time as Honda's in-house competitor, the VFR750. Both bikes were positioned similarly, so naturally one would be taken off of the market to keep production costs low. You probably know the disastrous story of the early 80-ies VF750F with bad cam shafts resulting in thousands of claims. Honda payed a high price but developed the V4 further with a cam gear train, which was also introduced in the CBR750. Maintenance-free, higher accuracy of the valve-timing and reduced wear of the engine. Unfortunately the CBR750 never became as popular as the VFR750, probably due to its higher pricing and slightly less performance. Also, the Japanese police placed a huge order for VFR's not CBR's, so the choice for Honda was easy: the CBR lost and the VFR is nowadays recognized as one of the best all-rounders that money can buy. Who knows which bike could have gotten those credits, if the CBR was kept in production... to see more visit http://hurricane.isalive.nl/
