The Hondamatic was Honda's attempt to make a big four easy for novices: the CB750 engine drove a torque converter and a two-speed gearbox selected by foot, so there was no clutch lever. The 1975 launch model was sold first in Canada. The engine was detuned for low-down pull and switched to wet-sump lubrication, and safety interlocks and a parking brake were fitted.
