Soichiro Honda
Hansen told Soichiro Honda that he should build a 'King of Motorcycles' and the CB750 appeared at the Tokyo Show in November 1968 and was publicly launched in UK at the Brighton, England motorcycle show held at the Metropole Hotel exhibition centre during April 1969, with an earlier press-launch at Honda's London headquarters, the pre-production versions appearing with a high and very wide handlebar intended for the US market.
