I think 74 is more appropriate not 84, but what a nice old school (my era) looking bike!

Another example of a manufacturer coming up with a ground-changing design of bike and then sitting back and letting everyone else catch up and overtake.
The CB450 Black Bomber blew the bike world away when it first came out- probably up there with the CB750SOHC four as an icon.
But as said above- by the time the CB500T was being tested against the other bikes of the day it had been left behind again- got rightly slated in the reviews. Same bike that they all raved about a few years before......
