I owned this bike from 1975 - 1978 and I regret that I sold it. It was very sofisticated and smooth to ride. I road with an informal club at the time and I had more than my share of people approaching me to ask questions. Most people at the time had Honda 750´s, Goldwings, Kawasaki 900´s and a BMW or two. From 40 to 60 mph I could wax all but the Goldwing. On top of that it had a nifty electronic gear position indicator between the speedo. and tech. It had two flaws, one was that it did´nt like stop and go trafic and it smoked on steep hills.
