1987 Honda CBR750 Super Aero (RC27) Review

This Honda CBR750 Super Aero is equipped with a water-cooled 4-stroke DOHC 16-valve in-line 4-cylinder engine that uses a cam gear train mechanism. Uses straight ports and slant carburetors with improved intake efficiency, and exhaust pipes with 4-2-1-2 piping that produce high exhaust efficiency. As a result, from the low rpm range to the high rpm range, the overwhelming strength unique to the 750cc class (maximum output 77PS/9,500rpm, maximum torque 7.0kg-m/6,500rpm) is demonstrated.

The body design is a 750cc class while improving aerodynamic characteristics by adopting a fully covered design and aero fenders (front and rear) with a twin tube diamond type frame that realizes light weight, high rigidity and a low center of gravity as a skeleton. The style is suitable for pursuit.
