I'll bet that 750 is a handful, even by today's standards. Very nice bike, considering age and condition. Or is it.....heck, I'm not sure WHAT that thing is, except to say a two-stroke 750 is a ferocious thing.

that thing looks nothing like the original "water buffalo" I had. Fun bike. Nose was so heavy you couldn't get it to wheelie, instead just smoked the rear tire like crazy. Got lots of weird looks at the lights cause the damn thing sounded like a dirtbike...

I'd say that thing would sound like a wild dirt bike too with that expansion chamber exhaust under the engine

My friend had the 550 version of that bike... it is a wonder we didn't kill ourselves... easily hit triple digits.

Love the vintage rides but the amount of technology into the latest BMW HP4 S1000RR is incredible.

Umm, if I could go back in time.

When I was a school boy my buddy Michael had a Triton. We thought it was kinda cool being in a Norton frame but he lusted after a real Norton (Commando)

Me, I had a 1966 Triumph 650 called a Saint. It was a factory built cop bike and Saint stood for stop anything in it's tracks or something like that. I wished it was a real Bonneville. Again .One sold recently at auction for $40,000.

I swapped the Triumph and a Morris 1100 for a Yamaha 650. Please someone slap my face.
