1973 Honda CB 750

1973 Honda CB750 Nowadays, when somebody mentions the term "superbike", the first motorbike models that might spring to mind include the Suzuki GSX-R 1000 K5, Kawasaki ZX-10R, Honda Fireblade, Yamaha YZF-R1, Aprilia RSV-R, or if you're feeling a little more old school, the Suzuki Hayabusa GSX 1300R. But before any of these powerful two-wheelers took to the streets, there's one bike that paved their path and ushered in the age of the superbike - the Honda CB750. The Honda CB750 was finally released in America in 1969, with a retail price of $1,495 - well below the $2,800 to $4,000 price tag of current large motorbikes being sold in the U.S.
