Model of the classic road motorcycle Honda CB 750

begins its history in 1969, but the most interesting and still used models are those starting in 1991 and produced until 2003 (for the Japanese market - until 2008). The appearance of this model was due to Honda’s desire to compete with the then popular Kawasaki Zephyr 750 model.

In 2007, Honda decided to resurrect the legendary motorcycle by releasing the Honda CB 750 Special Edition in silver colors. This version of the motorcycle was sold only in Japan.

A special feature of the Honda CB 750 is an in-line 4-cylinder air-oil-cooled engine with a capacity of 747 cc. see, producing 75 hp. power and almost 64 Nm of torque. The engine is equipped with hydraulic compensators and does not require periodic adjustment of valve clearances.

Main modifications of the Honda CB 750:

• Honda CB 750 F2 Seven Fifty
  (1992-2001) - European version. The model features a classic appearance, dual front brakes and a rear disc brake. In Japan, the model was available from 1992 to 1995. In 2001, the model underwent minor changes and was produced in Japan until August 2008.
• Honda CB 750 Nighthawk
  (1991-2003) - American version. The model has a more cruiser-like appearance, with a single disc brake at the front and a drum brake at the rear.

The Honda CB750 model was often used for training in motorcycle schools, so you can find “strangled” training versions of this motorcycle on the market. They can be distinguished by black mufflers, the absence of a handle for the passenger, a black dashboard housing (instead of chrome “glasses”), the absence of remote reservoirs on the rear shock absorbers, the presence of a fan on the oil cooler (not always), a 2-piston rear caliper and hydraulic clutch. Very often, they try to visually transform educational versions into full-power ones, so educational models offered on the market may not always contain all of the listed differences.

Re: fragrance 750F

Don’t just confuse a can with a direct flow on a car. forward flow is an exhaust without a catalyst with a reception pipe of preferably a larger diameter + a flame arrester and a bank-type muffler with a minimum of resistance. If configured correctly, replacing the intake and exhaust can actually add 15 hp or more, depending on the engine size and fuel maps. But simply installing a fake in the back will not give any effect; if you change something, then you need to tune your brain and not drive with the old settings. (a simple example, take for example my airtrack chip tuner + replacing the exhaust pipe with a catalytic one with a direct-flow one gives an increase of + 15 hp and + 40 kilos of torque. That is, you can jump from 240 to 255. There you already run into the fuel pump and the forces, and if they If you mess with the chip then about 300 hp and 400-440 torque... and then it’s necessary to specifically redo it). So if you change it, do it wisely. with motz the numbers are of course more modest. but still, at high speeds the exhaust is dull; if there is no kata, then the cause of the dull is the can.

Reviews

Reviews of Honda CB 750:

I’ll be brief, the car is worth the money, it’s suitable for our roads, the steering is a little heavy, even at first I didn’t like a lot of things, but the main thing is to “get into it” and with a certain skill it allows you to do a lot. Forgives mistakes, but does not forgive showing off, after all, 230 kg.

The acceleration dynamics are sufficient. This is certainly not a sport. but fuel consumption is quite acceptable - about 6 liters per hundred. After the purchase, I replaced almost all consumables.

I've done 10 thousand km - it's time to change the rear tires, I replaced the pads. that's all. Well, I'm not talking about oil and filters. In short, I recommend it to anyone who wants to ride and not bother with repairs. I didn't regret it.

The motorcycle turned out to be not light, 215 kg. I quickly got used to it, especially since with my weight of 100 kg and height of 181 cm, it suited me perfectly! The simplicity of the engine design (without any VTES), in my opinion, adds reliability to the already reliable Honda engines. The gearbox is simply fabulous. Air-oil cooling is also a good bonus in my opinion. A hydraulic clutch, they say, is also a good thing, but if something serious happens to it (the clutch), then everything will be sad, because The salary is a total disaster. At a speed of over 120 km/h, comfort drops sharply, begins to blow away, and is treated by installing the fairing glass on the headlight. There is no fuel gauge indicator on the dashboard; sometimes you have to look into the tank. The weight distribution of the motorcycle pleased me. And yet, when two 100kg boars sit down, the shock absorbers don’t break through and the wheel doesn’t catch on the wing, like on some four-hundreds)))

NC750X DCT ABS – a good budget tourer from Honda

Article author: Moto Moto

The NC750X is an excellent budget tourer from Honda that is ideal for driving both on the highway and on busy city streets. This Honda, in the configuration I drove during my test drive, is simply made for travel.

HONDA NC750X – this could be the ideal tourism

The NC750X, in the configuration I received for testing, has everything I need for the long haul. Of course, many of these extras are not available in the basic version. I mean, first of all, the trunks. They are very easy to assemble and very convenient and packaged. Let's put a lot of them in them. To do this, do not stick out too much beyond the contours of the motorcycle, which cannot be overestimated in city traffic. And if there is no space in the trunks, it always remains... a trunk. Because you cannot call the luggage space available in this motorcycle anything else. Instead of a trunk, there is a compartment that can easily fit a helmet, a medium-sized backpack, or everyday shopping. It is also equipped with a landing port, document storage and a tool kit. It may be difficult to pull the power cord through the rubber grommet.

Another addition that's worth investing in is heated grips. These Honda suggested 3 degrees of heat. The first mode is for everyday use at night or at a temperature of 18 degrees. Level 2 is for cooler temperatures, while Level 3 is quite difficult and you can use it to dry out your gloves on rainy days. However, the way they are assembled is not very convenient, which is why the thumb always goes to the place where the cord connects to the gas.

The center stand, which should be an integral element of any “tourist,” has one drawback. Well, when you ride standing on your feet, your heel goes into the ledge to turn around. It is true that the risk of plowing the asphalt with this paw is small, but in case of unsuccessful driving through potholes, a bad situation could arise. However, the ability to have free network service on the go is something worth investing in.

HONDA NC750X – fuel combustion

Another advantage of this Honda from a touring perspective is its low fuel demand. The NC750X burns a ridiculous amount of fuel for a 750cc engine – 3.5L/100km. I was unable to get down to this level, and the combustion turned out to be 4.13/100 km in highly mixed mode over 450 km. In general, together with a passenger and panniers, at a speed of 170 km/h, the motorcycle demonstrated instantaneous combustion at the level of 5 l/100 km, which... in general, is an excellent result! Be that as it may, with a 14 liter fuel tank we can easily fly 300 km without refueling... although I'm sure that in normal driving a result of 3.5 l / 100 km is not an achievement, and then a range of 400 km should be achieved.

HONDA NC750X – DCT transmission in tourism

It should also be noted that the NC750X I had for a test drive had a DCT gearbox. This cover is perfect for this type of motorcycle. Not only does it free up the driver and give him more time to enjoy the surroundings or concentrate on the road, but it also improves driving economy. I won't talk much about this box here. It should be noted, however, that:

• This bike has a chain and it works better with the DCT gearbox because shifting gears is not that difficult. Loosening the chain makes the shift smoother.
• If we are driving in D mode, which is very economical, driving at lower speeds, at lower revs, is accompanied by a slight jerk of the motorcycle. It is best to drive in S1 mode around the city.

HONDA NC750X – engine

The heart of the car generates 55 horses and 68 torque. Maximum torque is available as early as 4,750 rpm, while maximum power is available at 6,000 rpm. And feel it while driving. It was definitely better to shift gears faster than to spin the red box. You can say that we have little strength for this ability. But this is not a “racer”, and such parameters guarantee high durability and service life of the engine. Numbers with license plates and driving experience - another pair of rubber boots. I was not afraid to overtake, I left many behind, because of the lights I was often first, and on the route with a passenger and without luggage I flew so nicely. In the right city, on an ideal route, on easy terrain, the butt carries. What do you want more? This ability also means that I will successfully recommend this gear for the first run of every Category A reins.

HONDA NC750X – brakes

Here, unfortunately, not everything is so colorful. Single 320mm front disc and two-piston caliper. This is not much for such mass and achieved speed. Of course, the bike slows down, but sometimes it would be useful to reduce the speed more effectively. You have to get used to it. You must maintain the rear brake. But everything is fine with ABS, it is in series and works just as well on white and wet... as on sand, although here you can feel the pulsation of the system. Due to the inability to leave the motorcycle running, there is a manual parking brake - this is standard on motorcycles with DCT. I wonder, though, why the DCT version didn't have the rear brake under the left handlebar, as is the case with the Honda Integra.

HONDA NC750X – display

The display deserves special attention. Unfortunately it doesn't show the engine temperature and the RPM seems so belt-hating, but otherwise it's quite functional and changes color. And now, depending on the mode, these colors can communicate what gear we're running, or when to change course, or what mode the box is in, or... and this was the mode that was used most often: economy information. There is also a clear indication of the speed at which we are moving. You can also change the intensity of the backlight and widgets such as the welcome text... unfortunately, this is often barely noticeable because the display is difficult to see when exposed to bright light.

HONDA NC750X – handling

This motorcycle is a pleasure to ride. It could have been even better if there wasn't such a ridiculous quick post ahead. I am sure that its wider and higher exchange will improve the traveler's comfort. But now it's good. The riding position is excellent and the bike, despite its weight, is easy to maneuver at medium to low speeds, which is useful around town. With barrels you do need to get a little more tired when getting into the bike, but it's not a major issue. Being 180 cm tall, I had no problem reaching the ground with my outstretched leg. Unfortunately, after 200 km the rear was forced to bounce for a few minutes, and it was also impossible to get out of the tank without a break in the meantime. Well, the exhaust heat shield... is perfect under the heel, making it perpetually dirty, but at least the footpegs are solid rubber instead of jelly AND the 9k mile hardware has shown no signs of wear.

What is a big plus for motorcycle tourism is the comfort of our passenger travel. Here's the revelation. The passenger is happy with Jady on the NC750X and that's a lot. The central trunk and the frame with handles were also important. Overall, I really really liked the equipment.

The lighting in the new Hondas is on a higher shelf. The LEDs give a lot of advice and everything is lit up beautifully. If you also choose hazy light, then even the dark side of the moon will be an ideal and bright driving environment.

Overall I really liked this motorcycle. If you are looking for a good “tourist”, then choose this one. Full specifications, available finishes, pricing and other information about the NC750X DCT ABS can be found on the manufacturer's website. Below are some numbers:
