Honda CB 750 Racer / CR 750
The history of the Honda 750 Daytona is all but
unique in the annals of racing. It became famous for entering, and winning, only
one race. The "I came, I saw, I conquered" of the Honda 750 at Daytona was planned late in 1969 to boost the advertising of Honda motorcycles in the United States. The American market is particularly receptive to wins by motorcycles derived from production models, and up to then the largevehicle market had been dominated by the American Harley-Davidson and the British Norton, BSA, and Triumph, the same companies that usually won the Daytona 200. Honda was not the favorite, despite the problems that developed with the official vehicles raced by Bill Smith, Ralph Bryans, and Tommy Robb. With some good luck the American racer Dick Mann rode the Honda 750 to victory. Motorcycle: Honda 750 Daytona Manufacturer: Honda

The Dawn of the Superbike: Honda's Remarkable CB750
"Exotica, erotica and speed." Hardly the way we
picture the ubiquitous Honda CB750 today, but those are the very words Cycle
magazine chose to describe what they termed "the most sophisticated production
bike ever" when it debuted in 1969.
