honda cb750 was launched at tokyo show in1966 mv followed in 1967 FWIW I believe the Honda CB750 was launched in Tokyo November 1968 some time after the MV was already in production , albeit in very limited numbers  . Though this gives different info ........http://world.honda.com/history/challenge/1969cb750four/ Late 1968 at Tokyo show it was launched,BSA/Triumph were not happy as they'd launched their 750 Triples earlier in year |
