No you don’t!

Single overhead cam, two (??) valves per cylinder.

By today’s standards they’re dog slow and dull as a post. After that they continued on for several years as the 750 Nighthawk series; DOHC, three (??) valves per cylinder, disk brake up front.

Nothing wrong with the Nighthawk series, maybe they were just too sensible is all.

Mostly the significance of that CB750 four of course is that it was a technological milestone. It also showed up the flaws in those motorcycles that had come before it.
