Heavy and over engineered (=reliable and long lasting) this bike may be, but if you keep carbs in balance, keep an eye on the other items (suspension, brakes etc.) and CAN RIDE this bike, it is a match for any modern racer on the smaller roads. Power delivery and gearbox perfectly matched (you need to rev it!) and shaft drive is a dream once you get the hang of it. Low seat height suits a shorter rider. Bare bike benefits extensively from nose or handlebar fairing. I cannot understate this if you regularly ride above 65/70. I 'graduated' to the GT after riding bigger Jap and VW twins.

Do you want a bike that will go on forever? Do you want a bike that is reliable? Do you want a bike that is light, nippy, fast and sporty? Well if the answer to the last comment is yes well avoid the GT 750 like the plague. To those who don’t know it, it is a shaft drive bike, naked bike built like a tank. It is a reasonably quick machine for a shaft drive and will go on forever with little maintenance, which is why they are used for dispatch riders. If the problem with it is no fairing, no problem there are companies in the UK that supply “stylish and attractive” fairings for these machines. Once fitted you can’t tell the difference ...
