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.

The suspension is a large diameter (φ39) air assist suspension equipped with TRAC (anti-dive mechanism) on the front wheels. The rear wheels use a de-carvone rear damper with a 2-way valve (with a hydraulic preload adjustment mechanism) and a pro-link suspension with an aluminum swing arm. Disc brakes (double front wheels) are used for both front and rear wheels. In addition, it is equipped with flat tires, lightweight and highly rigid S-shaped cross-section spokes, and aluminum wheels with wide rims, making it a fulfilling suspension suitable for a powerful engine.
