You're right there Dutchy. This photo is from 1984 I think, taken by a bike-riding girlfriend, just up the road from my parents' house. I was working part time at a Honda dealer and borrowed this 750 one evening with the intention of trying and maybe buying it. I managed to lock up the front end when I discovered how much more powerful the 750 twin discs were than the single inboard disc on my VF400, and threw the bike down the road at a horrendous speed. The dealer invited me to either pay his insurance excess, or to buy the bike and parts at cost. I did the latter and enjoyed the bike for a year, but reliability concerns (camshafts and tensioners) put me off and I sold it. Still a beautiful bike, and I loved the gold wheels.

Thanks for featuring this Miguel.
