One of the fellows in town has just restored a 750 triple. Spent close to $8000 on the project to date. Bike was professionally ported and bored out. The only problem is that it was set up for the quarter mile. It only comes alive at over 6000 rpm. He is running the bike with tuned pipes and it is noisier than .... He wishes it had been more mildly tuned. When I spoke to him, he had just had the bike dynoed and said it was putting our around 120hp. Not that much when you consider a 675 Daytona but a lot for a vintage bike.

Only problem is that he can only get 40 miles to the tank of gas. Fun to ride if you like spending most of the time on the rear wheel.

And erle, yours looks a lot better than his.
