HONDA CB750SC Nighthawk S (1984-1989) Specs, Performance & Photos

The CB750 was first introduced in 1969 in the US and European markets after the company experienced success with its smaller models, and at the time, Honda motorcycles were the world's largest sellers.

The Honda CB750 was a naked motorcycle part of the CB series in Honda's range manufactured over several generations from 1969 to 2003 as well as 2007. The bike offered an upright seating position and was often called the original Universal Japanese Motorcycle (UJM).

The bike was included in the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Classic Bikes, in The Art of the Motorcycle exhibition, was in the UK National Motor Museum, and named the "Greatest Motorbikes Ever" by the Discovery Channel.

The Honda CB750SC Nighthawk S released by the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer incorporated all the high-performance with low-maintenance features that made the bike so popular, such as a rubber-mounted engine with oil cooler and 16 hydraulically-adjustable valves, a hydraulic clutch, an automatic cam chain tensioner, and a fully electronic ignition.

In the performance department, the Honda CB750SC Nighthawk took its muscles from a 749 cc four-stroke four-cylinder air-cooled engine fitted with four Keihin carburetors and delivered an output power of 70 hp with a peak at 7,200 rpm and 56 Nm (42 lb-ft) of torque available at 7,500 rpm.
