CB750 cafe racer

Who doesn’t love a Honda CB750 cafe racer? Introduced in 1969, the CB750 is widely regarded as the world’s first ‘superbike’ and a revolutionary milestone in motorcycle history. Featuring a 736 cc inline-four engine with a five-speed transmission, electric start, and front disc brake—an industry first—it offered unprecedented performance, reliability and accessibility at an affordable price.

Redefining expectations for power, comfort and technological innovation, the CB750 forced competitors to rethink their designs and ushered in the modern era of high-performance motorcycles. The CB750 also cemented Honda’s reputation as a global leader in engineering excellence and played a pivotal role in expanding the popularity of motorcycling worldwide.

With over half a million examples built, Honda CB750s are plentiful and cheap, making them the perfect base for cafe racer builds. The massive air-cooled serves as a centerpiece to build around, the simple, tubular frame allows for relatively easy customization and a massive aftermarket following ensures parts will always be around. Whether you’re a noob or a seasoned pro, a CB750 cafe racer project is sure to be a rewarding one.
