Total SOHC cb750 Production?
« on: November 13, 2024, 03:57:30 PM »
I read somewhere that the total Honda SOHC cb750 production from 1969-1978 was just over 400,000. Does that seem correct? Any more interesting stats?

Honda has never released production numbers for any of their bikes that I am aware of.
(Except maybe the 50-110cc Cubs 'cause they made a gazillion.)
That ~400K number I believe is an educated guestimate based on published serial number info in the shop manuals and parts lists.

There is a chart about the sales for each CB750 model and year somewhere on this forum.
