1996 Honda CB 750 Seven-Fifty Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Honda's naked motorcycle platform, the 1996 Honda CB 750 Seven-Fifty pairs a 747 cc (45.6 cu in) in-line four, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 73 HP (53.3 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 61.8 Nm (45.6 lb-ft) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 97.7 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,500 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the CB 750 Seven-Fifty measures 215 kg (474 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.34 HP/kg (2.95 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 795 mm (31.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance.
