The CBX750, or RC17 is a Honda motorcycle sold primarily in Europe, South Africa and Australia. Manufactured from 1984 to 1988, the CBX750 was developed from the CB750, in parallel with the VF750, a wholly new design. It is also used for motorcycle police in Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Turkey and Gibraltar.
The CBX750 was a stop-gap model which Honda produced while the VFR750 V4 was being developed to replace the unreliable VF750 model. Like the VF750 the CBX750 is prone to cam chain problems, mainly the failure of the tensioner mechanism, which lasted approximately 75,000 km.
The pre-1988 CBX750 had a 16-inch-diameter (410 mm) front wheel, which restricts replacement tire choice.
