The manufacturers all seem to be working hard on their 750s. No sooner had we announced that the LTD [[Kawasaki|Kawasaki]] was one of the quickest 750s around when we get three more, just as fast. | The manufacturers all seem to be working hard on their 750s.

Kawasaki's | [[Kawasaki KZ750E|Kawasaki's KZ750E]] ran 123.7mph, the same as the low-rider version, Suzuki's GSX reached 125.2mph and now the [[Honda|Honda]] has topped that at 126.3mph. | ||
Without being able to run all the bikes on the same day, it would be foolish to say that any one was better — or even quicker — on the basis of these figures. At that sort of velocity, the turbulence of a sparrow farting in the next field can take a big piece out of the bike's speed. | Without being able to run all the bikes on the same day, it would be foolish to say that any one was better — or even quicker — on the basis of these figures.
