Lots of good used ones out there. Just be prepared to pay a load of bucks for one.

I still miss my GT750. Nothing like the smell of a 2 stroke in the morning.

Zomg the memory you just invoked in me...
I had someone bring me a locked up 2 stroke triple back in the early nineties
that I got running again..... It was a 60's or early 70's model.
Someone told me it was, for it's year model, the fastest bike on wheels.
Does someone have a better memory than me.

OMG! it was such a joy to get that bike running again just cuz it was SO unusual.

Good looking bike but can you imagine riding with a front drum brake nowadays. My spine just did a scary little dance with that thought.

My first car was a 68 dodge.
10 inch drums front
9 inch drums rear
3 on the tree shift
Manual steer manual brakes
... and 2 doors
I'd give my left testicle to drive that car again.

And likely you'd break the other one trying to turn the steering wheel now.
