What was the engine displacement of the 1969 Honda CB750 motorcycle?

The story behind the answer

The 1969 Honda CB750 motorcycle had an engine displacement of 736 cc.

Honda marketed the machine as the CB750 Four, and its air-cooled, four-cylinder engine was commonly rounded to “750 cc” in its name and advertising. The precise factory displacement was 736 cubic centimetres, produced by a 61 mm bore and 63 mm stroke.

The CB750 became influential because it combined a transverse inline-four engine, electric starting, a five-speed gearbox and a front disc brake in a relatively affordable production motorcycle. It is frequently described as the motorcycle that established the modern superbike class.

A common mix-up is answering 750 cc, which identifies the model class rather than the exact swept volume. The CB750’s engine was also distinct from Kawasaki’s Z1, whose displacement was 903 cc.
