HONDA CB750 Nighthawk (1999-2000) Specs, Performance & Photos

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 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.

In 2000, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB750 Nighthawk, a nifty allrounder street machine loaded with contemporary technology, but with the looks of the acclaimed roadster of the 1970s.

The compact bike offered great maneuverability and a comfortable upright seating position, while the one-piece two-up seat provided plenty of room for the rider and passenger. Also, the machine featured maintenance-free hydraulic valve-lash adjusters and sheared technology with the Goldwing and Shadow bike families.

The bike was built around a double cradle steel frame that housed a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front with 14 cm (5.5 inches) of wheel travel and dual shock absorbers on the rear.

In the performance department, the 2000 Honda CB750 Nighthawk had its soul brought to life by a 747cc four-stroke four-cylinder air-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 75 hp with maximum strength at 8,500 rpm and 64 Nm (47 lb-ft) of torque available at 7,500 rpm.
