Honda CB 350-450-450-500-550-750: libri - storia

Honda CB 750 Four

In un elenco delle 10 moto più significative di tutta la storia delle due ruote non c'è dubbio che la Honda 750 debba avere un posto di primissimo piano. Ma verrebbe certamente inclusa anche se l'elenco si dovesse restringere a soli 5 modelli...e forse anche a 3. Perchè quando viene commercializzata, nel 1969, cambia radicalmente il panorama motociclistico mondiale.
Se nella decade precedente le due ruote rappresentavano un ben magro sostituto dell'automobile, un veicolo spartano e - a parte rare eccezioni - con poco fascino, con la Four avviene una vera e propria rivoluzione.

Adesso la motocicletta - questa motocicletta - viene addirittura preferita alla spider in quanto veicolo capace di far sognare gli appassionati grazie al suo look modernissimo e alla sue elevatissime prestazioni: per la prima volta vengono annunciati i 200 Km/h di serie. La dotazione tecnica è straordinaria, con il motore a 4 cilindri (fino ad allora riservato alle competizioni), il freno anteriore a disco e il cambio a 5 marce.

In più c'è l'avviamento elettrico, una componente che da sola spinge all'acquisto anche tanti "motociclisti" che fino al giorno prima mai si sarebbero sognati di abbandonare le 4 ruote. La concorrenza è spiazzata, di colpo è invecchiata di almeno 10 anni. Se non è rivoluzione questa...

Original Honda CB750 - The Restorer's Guide to K & F Series 750 SOHC Models, 1968-1978

By 1968, Japanese motorcycle manufacturers had transformed the motorcycling world in Europe and the USA with well-engineered models. However, their success largely came from refining traditional motorcycle designs established by Italian and British makers.
The Honda CB750 changed this completely. It was not just an improved version of an old design but an entirely new concept. With its powerful four-cylinder engine, comparable to that of a small car, disc brakes, and a top speed of 120-130 mph, the CB750 was revolutionary. Its impressive size, weight, and exceptional reliability, similar to that of a car, set new standards in motorcycling.
The author, who grew up riding British bikes, first experienced the CB750 35 years ago. That ride changed his perspective on motorcycling. Using his experience as both an owner and a professional restorer, he provides a detailed account of the many versions of this iconic model produced between 1968 and 1978.
This book features an authoritative text paired with over 200 color photographs, specially commissioned to showcase every detail that made Honda's sohc CB750 a groundbreaking motorcycle of its time.

Honda CB750 Four

In the 1960s, Japanese motorcycle manufacturers began gaining market share in Europe and the United States with innovative designs and modern technology.
In 1968, Honda introduced the CB750, a revolutionary four-cylinder motorcycle featuring an electric starter, five-speed gearbox, and front disc brake. It combined speed, convenience, reliability, and oiltightness - qualities rarely found together at the time. This marked the arrival of the first 'superbike.'
In this book, Rod Ker explores the history of the Honda CB750 and its development throughout the 1970s. He also examines its revival as a classic model, its current iconic status, and offers buying advice for modern enthusiasts.

Génération Honda - La révolution CB 750

Unveiled in Tokyo at the end of 1968, the Honda CB 750 Four was released in the USA in June 1969 and arrived in France at the end of August.
Fifty years ago, this first large-capacity motorcycle from Honda, featuring a four-cylinder engine and front disc brake, instantly made all other bikes seem outdated. The impact was so great that it was called the "motorcycle of the century."
The success was immediate: motorcyclists worldwide dreamed of owning this "4-Cylinder, " as it was quickly nicknamed. As the first modern large-displacement bike, the Honda Four transformed the motorcycle industry and set new standards. After 1969, nothing was the same.
