John, I think the 850t was the same engine as the old Eldorado with slightly larger valves, carbs, and maybe a hotter camshaft but not sure if that.. At least the cam part. It was a great rock solid engine that was perfect for their sport format which they didn't really have...yet


Even that old 850T would leave Harleys in the dust in the twisties.

That's one thing about European motorcycles. They were build for handling. My 500 Triumph Daytona, was quite the dancer but light. The Ambassador was much heavier but regardless, it was really nimble.
