The CB750K introduced in 1969 divided the history into before and after. First mass-produced four-cylinder, world's first production streetbike with hydraulic disc brake. That's Honda's original superbike. For years the rumors of a production of a four-cylinder had floated through the annual motorcycle shows, however, it was not believed that it would be released. They all said that it would be "too complex", or "too heavy" or "too expensive". They were all wrong and Honda managed to show them all, with a sohc four-cylinder production motorcycle that required less maintenance than the typical English single, and at 480 pounds weighted less than some twins at the time. Most of all, they had to admit that its $ 1495 price tag was a steal.
