Honda of Japan brought the CB750 to markets in the US and Europe in 1969, after its showing in Tokyo in November 1968, and pre production versions had a tall, very wide handlebar meant for the US market. Under development for a year, it had a transverse straight-four engine with a single overhead camshaft and a front disc brake, at an introductory price of 1,495 US dollars. The initial run of 7,414 motorcycles used permanent mould casting before Honda switched to die casting. The Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan counts the 1969 CB750 among the 240 Landmarks of Japanese Automotive Technology.
