Don Halls Test of a 1969 Honda cb 750 Four

Nice video! I rode my first CB750 in about 1984. It was a friend's bike and it helped to hook me on inline fours for life. Today I enjoy a 2008 Suzuki Bandit 1250S in part because of the influence this bike had on me, and I hope that we will always be able to buy inline fours with standard seating configurations. They've become rare these days, at least in America.

What a fabulous bike these were.
I bought four of them ... they were super reliable and safe.. a real head turner in it's day.
They dominated the bike market for years ... until the arrival of the Kawasaki 900.
The Australian Police used Honda Fours for many years.
I wish I still owned one... great memories.

I agree the bike was not a "69" but who cares--they were making a point and it was presented well. They got their point across and I thought the comparisons made were factual and true.

Funny! I was thinkin' the same thing and then it hit me how a AA fuel Nitro burnin' Dragster does the 1/4 mile under 5 seconds an at speeds over 330 mph. It's a fast world --ain't it?

O MY GOD!!

he is riding on the wrong side of the road!!!! :O

im sure it was an humbling experience to review a japnese bike that was in many ways superior and practical to its english contemporaries - namely the triumph and the bsa - by a fellow englishman.
the cb 750 is smooth....and incredibly fast...there's no denying it. it was incredible for him to give credit where credit was due.

To dale 1966--"you sir are indeed a gentleman"

thank you for your comment. gotta' give credit where credit is due.
you know, i didn't realize the cb 750 was 40 years old.

I find it's best to not be bias just call a spade a spade. My first Bike was a 1960 BSA Goldstar 500--I looked it up on line the other day and had forgotten how beautiful it was. That was in 1963 when I was 16 and over the years I've had a little bit of everything but the 750 CB Honda has always been one of my favorites.

eliminate the ''e'' in the second half of seconds.
