The CB 750 Four, released in 1969, brought disc brakes and an inline four cylinder engine to a production bike, and put this Japanese bike on the map as an all time classic. A nail in the coffin of British bikes but lacking some of their magic. Discovery Channel ranked it #3 in their Greatest Ever Motorcycles.
