October 30, 20159 yr Yip, in practical S.B, last year,  it highlighted the fact, it said ! "  biggest disappointment of the day, was the guy with the XS750, . They were only 67bhp on the sales pamphlet . and you know the company always exaggerate to boost sales.  Like the Z650 was spouted to be quicker than the outgoing 2 stroke,H2-750 IN 1976 . it was 10bhp less & 25kg heavier,  I think they thought we couldn't count back then ,
