History

The CBR series launched in 1983 was a range of motorcycles with displacements of 250cc and 400cc, but in 1987, as the flagship model of the same series, a motorcycle of 750cc would debut exclusively for the Japanese domestic market. [1]

Specifications

The engine, with a cubic capacity of 748 cm³, was a liquid-cooled four-cylinder in-line with double camshaft (DOHC: Double Overhead Camshaft) with 4 valves per cylinder for a total of 16. [2] Fitted with a six-speed gearbox, the CBR750 used a multi-disc wet clutch. The engine was housed on the steel frame which guaranteed strength and lightness at the same time. The front suspension used was an adjustable telescopic fork. At the rear, however, it mounted a single shock absorber which was also adjustable. The braking system consisted of three discs, of which the front ones were double. In 1988, the CBR750 underwent a series of changes and improvements. [3]

The Honda Magna is a cruiser motorcycle made from 1982 to 1988 and 1994 to 2003 and was the second Honda to use their new V4 engine shared with the VF750S Sabre and a few years later a related engine was fitted to the VF750F 'Interceptor', the later models used a retuned engine from the VFR750F with fins added to the outside of the engine. The engine technology and layout was a descendant of Honda's racing V4 machines, such as the NS750 and NR750. The introduction of this engine on the Magna and the Sabre in 1982, was a milestone in the evolution of motorcycles that would culminate in 1983 with the introduction of the Interceptor V4. The V45's performance is comparable to that of Valkyries and Honda's 1800 cc V-twin cruisers. However, its mix of performance, reliability, and refinement was overshadowed by the more powerful 1,098 cc "V65" Magna in 1983.

VTEC is a system developed by Honda to improve the volumetric efficiency of a four-stroke internal combustion engine, resulting in higher performance at high RPM, and lower fuel consumption at low RPM. The VTEC system uses two camshaft profiles and hydraulically selects between profiles. It was invented by Honda engineer Ikuo Kajitani. It is distinctly different from standard VVT systems which change only the valve timings and do not change the camshaft profile or valve lift in any way.
