Nothing like the speed of the others - nor the handling - but like the old Yammies above it was a marvellous open road cruiser. Real delight to climb on for a 200-300 mile ride - and get off at the end still feeling pretty comfortable. An example:

Some great old cruisers around - the old Yamaha 1000 V twins and CX650 above included. Would like to try that Indian... what is reliability like on them? I know they have more hp than Harley equivalent models.

The 1976 F1 750 motor went back to the 1969 KO cams and carbs and thus produced the original 67hp again. A mate of mine had one, bought new in 1976 and we rode a lot together. My Z1000 never got far away ahead ever, top speed, handling or acceleration.
