It's more like a chrome-plated chainsaw with wheels. Nice for zipping
around town, but I wouldn't take it out on an interstate highway. It's
in very nice shape though. 28,403 miles? What happened to the original
exhaust headers? You know, the bluish purple ones.

You're looking at the originals. It's a two-stroke and the headers
don't get hot enough to turn blue. Besides, I ported, polished and
re-jetted so it burns clean and fast. It's got 29,000 miles on it now.
Original. It's just now getting really broken-in.

Anybody who rides bikes on the Interstate is rather dumb. Winding
roads is what a bike is for or blasting around town.

It doesn't even compare to my Harley.

Yeah, I'd be afraid to take that POS on the highway, too.

How does it handle in 3 to 6 foot seas?

Neal doesn't do that. I'm sure the boat would be fine without him however.

Attention: Jonathan Ganz is a known netKKKop who is getting slapped over on

My best friend had that model in high school back in the 70's. I had a KZ
400 and we rode everywhere and crashed often as well. When that 380 hit the
power band he would leave me in a cloud of blue oil smoke and it would take
forever to catch up. I always wondered how the three cylinder 750 was.

Had a friend back in the 70's who souped up a GT-750 water buffalo.
Name was Craig Batterschell. I did the original porting, polishing
and tuning. K&N air filters with three 32mm Mikunis, expansion chambers,
nitrous and eventually a turbo/nitrous.

You were doing good if you could hold on. It felt like your hands were
being ripped off the grips. What a wild ride. He did the quarter mile
in the mid-nines.
