The CB750C Custom put the twin-cam 748 cc four into a cruiser-styled package with a stepped seat, pull-back bars, a smaller tank and a 16-inch rear wheel. It also gained a leading-axle air-assisted fork. Testers found it a usable everyday bike, though the low seat and stiff rear end limited long-distance comfort.
