I'm afraid I have to disagree with most of this content. Never say, everyone.
Mee too!
Im afraid I have t agree with you.
To quote Tonto, What you mean "we", white man?
Just your opinion not ours in the UK
This guy doesn't know what he is talking about.
Are you kidding! These were the Best bikes of the 70's
Just how old are you? Was you around then. If you wasn't then you can not comment on these bikes, they did a very good job and were excellent motorcycles and many are still here to this day.
That’s it ! 👍👍👍
another writer not a rider .
How dare you say the guzzi was ugly, you blind or something?
Again. H1 500 Kawasaki was the Widowmaker.
A Jota for touring?
Poor fuel consumption?
Who cares?
It’s a work of art.
That's not a Jota ile a 3C,the Jota was a special madel by Slater bros in the UK only
@@Jason-sx6su Correct, I had the 750 twin called the 3SC, Jesus H , it was heavy.
Many of these were much loved back in the day.
The Suzuki GT 750 was known in Australia as the Water Bottle, a mate of mine had one and although handling was sort of ok, it went like a cut cat but thirsty.
Known as the Kettle in the UK.
Or bollocks as we say here.
Zee-1 ?? Wtf?
Norton electra 400 ,had electric start in late sixtys,also mk3 850 Norton, in 1975
pfff ...another clickgrabber :-(
The Yamaha TX750: I read that it wasn't the lack of cooling that caused the oil foaming, it was the placement of the engine balancer shaft in or near the sump, the spinning of the shaft whipping the oil into a froth. The XS750 (it's successor): I had two friends who had earlier ones and both of them had reliability problems. The Harley Davidson two-strokes from 25:26 in the video: These actually came about as a result of their takeover of Cagiva. The 125, 250 and 350cc singles were previously badged as Cagivas. And the Suzuki GT750 was known as the Kettle in the UK.
You're correct about the oil foaming cause, it was the balance shaft.
@@brakenoodle105 I would like to know what bright spark thought of putting it there. Whoever it was obviously didn't think it through first.
@@brakenoodle105 Yes, superdreams suffered from the same problem if thrashed and by thrashed I mean exceeding 40 mph. LOL
Both the Kawi H1 and H2 were simply much better than most of the people buying them.
The suzuki gt750 with a fairing would look just fine,the engine was ideally suited for touring purposes.
LOL, you having a laugh, they were unreliable and you needed a petrol tanker bringing up the rear and a large supply of sparkplugs.
I had a 1974 rd-200. When I purchased it, the bike topped out at 72 mph. After I got finished with it, I was going 92 mph and only using premix. Yeah back then we were messing with time travel. 2024, I am 64 years old. I think it worked, motorcycle don't go over 100 mph...
I had a TX-750 , the later model was lovely .Me dad had a trident , I took for a quick blatt while he was in Auckland for the long weeke3nd .Hit some gravel and had to to beg me cousin to knock the ding outta the tank tank and do what looked to be a nasterful job restoring it to its usual untouched by dumbarses ' beauty .I could hear him roaring 2 k from home about the Trident and WTF had someone done to it !
Someone frantically kicked over a clapped out RD 350 that me besty and I had cobbled together from 2 stroke fumes , unwarranted expections , teenage energy ,optimism and a "nah fark it she'll be right " attitude .Me mates uncle was our scrutineer at our one and only D class proddy race which we veery nearly got halfway to finishing before an unasked for pit stop saw that poor wee Yammie dissasemble itself after more abuse than man ,beast nor machine could ever be asked to endure.
Damn I wish I still had anmy one of those bikes here and now.
Good man , you gotta tinker with them, weak point on the RD200 was the silly and useless Dynostart.
the GT 750 was affectionately knwn as a "water bottle " not a water buffalo
I think in different countries it was know by many different names
I can not see worth motorbikes. The most of them are beautiful bikes.
Mostly utter bollocks.
Beauty is in the eye....
Harley redesigned the sporster frame in 1977 with the XLCR,which was used in 1979 with the Harley XLH sportster.
