In the late 1960s, the motorcycle world was complacent. British twins leaked oil, and American V-Twins shook themselves apart. Then, in 1969, Honda unleashed the CB750 Four—a technologically revolutionary machine that single-handedly ended the era of the old guard.
This film explores the seismic shift known as the Japanese Shockwave:
The Reliability Crisis: Why were iconic bikes like the Triumph Bonneville and the Harley Shovelhead failing to meet modern consumer demands?
The Four Technological Pillars: How the CB750's smooth Inline-Four engine, mass-produced disc brake, and leak-proof engineering humiliated Western manufacturing.
The Collapse: The immediate, fatal impact of the CB750 on the British motorcycle industry.
Harley's Retreat: How the V-Twin giant was forced to cede the performance market and strategically retreat into the custom niche.
The CB750 was not just a great bike; it was the machine that created the Superbike category and set the standard for every modern motorcycle today.
