At the heart of the 1979 Honda CB750F SuperSport sport motorcycle, Honda utilizes a 749 cc (45.7 cu in) air-cooled in-line four, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 72 HP (52.6 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 96.1 HP per liter, 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 CB750F SuperSport measures 230 kg (507 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.31 HP/kg (3.19 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 810 mm (31.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,519 mm (59.8 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 20.06-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
