I've always wondered why not that one for the US market, instead of making yet another Retro CB in the form of the current 1100. Maybe we had outgrown the old CB of olds, and Honda knew we'd want something bigger? Though the big CB was developed and sold for many markets before showing up on our shores in 2013...
A 750 used to be a big bike, but nowadays, it's at best a mid-size in the US. It's easy to warrant a more premium price for more displacement. A 750 would have no fewer parts, so it wouldn't be much cheaper to make.
