The CB 750 will never be usurped! It stands and remains the iconic SUPERBIKE. I had one of the first ones out and wish I still had it.

With the retro marketing taking place trying to get the industry out of the sales doldrums (sales have been flat for about 15 years) I wonder why anyone would spend a lot of money for a new motorcycle that emulates a classic when you can actually buy the classic for less money! If I were in the market for a Retro style bike, I would not buy a new one, I would buy the nicest CB-750 I could find. I consider the CB-750 as the most influential and one of the best-looking motorcycles ever made. One of my other favorites not mentioned here is the Honda 305 CL-77. While the CB-750 was futuristic, the 305 Scrambler would be the only other classic from the era that would interest me. Even today, both of these bikes have retained their appeal.

Tell that to Kawasaki 😂

So where's the Honda Cub ? They only made 60 million of them and still counting. Now THAT is the all time Japanese classic and it didn't even get a mention. LOL

In 1970 a friend of my parents had a Honda 750four..... one day I stood to watch & listen to him REVV that Bike UP ! Man was that some sound for a young kid to behold, I was 8 yrs old. It was a "wow" experience I've never forgot// peace

CB750 and CB92…Agree! Same for GPZ 900R. As for the rest…. How about the Honda CBR900RR? That bike rewrote what a powerful sports bike should be. Then there’s the gold wing and CX500, Yamaha XT500, Suzuki GS750, Yamaha diversion…The list goes on and on..so many great bikes out of Japan back in the day. We really were spoilt for choice.

My two favourite were the Honda CB750 four and the Kawasaki GPZ 900R! Going back to 1969 here in the UK, this Big Honda sent shockwaves through the British motorcycle industry and was the death nell for many of these companies years later! Imagine how incredibly modern it must have looked in that time! The Kawasaki, well what is not to love? Immense power for the time, I adore the 'razor' sharp looks and livery to die for. You would be hard pressed to find a super sports so 'in your face' with its aggressive looks and intimidating powerhouse of an engine. Awesome choices , very enjoyable nostalgic video!

I seen a dude named Ninja Norm on his Kawi run through my friend's Spaniel. Never forget that.

I owned a 1969 Kawasaki H1 500, the 498th one off the assembly line. I raced a few of the Honda 750s. Smoked every one of them, literally! That 750 wasn't all that fast.

1970 rd 350 amazing bike!

I bought a RZ500 new in 1985 and still have it. It's in near mint condition.

My friend has has a Z1. He got it in '85 from original owner. Mint, low miles. Looks same as the one in this feed.

I must have good taste.😊 I’ve owned a RD350, 4 Honda 4s K 1,2,7 and a F2 , a Kawasaki GPZ 900. But I reckon you should have included the GS Suzuki 1000. Just saying. I’m still riding but now on a 96 Buell S1 lightning. 👍

Well, regarding the Power output of a Z1 900...at, now names most markets it had 82 HP (but Germany the 79 HP I think) Later 1976 version, now names Z 900 (or in America KZ 900) had a small drop in HP from 82 to 81 HP. The Model having 90 HP is the 1978/79 Z1-R (1015cc engine) and totally different style.

Its like the best 7 songs of all time . No two people on the planet will agree

I enjoyed the video a lot, but do not agree with the 750 Honda & the Z1 being so far down the list. They changed how the new breed of bikes of those days came about, and moved the bar up a few notches as to where motorcycles after them started to go, IMO. Currently own a "73 RD 350 & '73 Z1, both in stock form.

The SV1000S, nice bike buy no classic, TL1000S now that is a stone cold cult classic, mad as a badger and so much fun, I owned both and the TL had it going on.

G P Zed

This is just one persons opinion. And not many would totally agree.

The CB750 was NOT the first production 750cc motorcycle with a transverse four cylinder engine. That was the MV Agusta 750 Sport, which also had double overhead cams. It was preceded by the MV Agusta 600 - in 1966. Try researching the subject before badly teaching an AI ap to read your mistakes.

Another stupid personal opinion piece. It would have been better if bikes like the Honda Cub was in there. 150 MILLION made and 1/4 of the economy of the world relies on the things.

Agree with Honda 750 & Kawa Z900 but the others i think you are way off. Yes good bikes but not best classics.

Not bad but not the best list missing out many many far better bikes

Must be among the worst "list of classics" ever? Depending on what you want to focus on, I'd say Japans Top 7 list has to start with the Kawasaki H2 750, followed by the CB 750, taking the sportbikes from 2 strokes to four. Then Suzuki went from one cam and 8 valves, to twin cam and 16 valves with the GSX -I'd put the 1100 Katqana on the list as it boasts design and twin cam tech. Next on the list is also a Suzuki GSX; The 1985 GSXR 750, who made racebikes availeble right out of the crate. The next is a bit more challengeing, I say 5th place on the list is a tie between Yamaha FZR750R, OW01 and the Honda RC30 -we loved both of them but you never admitted to it.. You were either a Honda guy or a Yamaha dude, loveing one openly, desireing the other secretly.. The last of the top 7 is Honda NR 750 -I don't have to argue why.

No argument at all with the CB750, an absolute Japanese classic, but any list of top Japanese bikes that leaves out the Z1 900 is impossible to take seriously, to leave this machine out but include the Katana (???) is one of the strangest Japanese "bests of" I have ever seen.

Yes it is true that Honda made some of the most beautiful and exciting motorcycles out there, but that was a very long time ago. There is not a single new Honda motor bike on sale in 2024, that is half as good as the 1960 -1970's models. Honda just as with all other motorcycle manufacturers have totally lost their way! Modern Honda motorbikes, are unwanted technology ridden , horrible heaps, with a rats nest of water pipes for massive unsightly radiators, where once you would see a gleaming engine! RIP motorcycle design I am too sad to continue, those of you old enough remember the zenith of motor cycle design, its long gone now!

Sorry. Wrong.

Blah blah blah
