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 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.
Also, the 2002 Nighthawk harked back to the 1970s and carried on the legacy of the family, retaining the all-rounder character, versatility, and reliability as premium features, with great commuter capabilities generated by its slender profile and brawny engine.
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, while the braking performance was handled by a 316 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the front wheel and a 180 mm drum unit on the rear that provided strong stopping power.
As for performance, the 2003 Honda CB750 Nighthawk packed 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.
