It has high bars; Special serie. . appart from the too long throw from 1st to 2 nd gear, theses engine are bullet proof and pulls like crasy. . the 850 had a little grear reduction change from 750 to 850 . .giving them a small top speed improvement. . In their time, compare to other same size air cooled other japaneese cousins, they were faster

I disagree on leaving it like it is. There is so much play that it is unsafe to drive. Once the weather here stabilizes, I will tear it apart and see if any rubber has disintegrated etc.
I found a bike in a barn to make me happy. I'd love to find new LIKES and SUBS to this channel to make everyone happy! :)
Man thats sick. I have a similar bike I need work done to it. But I have no idea what to do

Great to know. Yeah, I have to tear apart where the handlebars are and see what is causing them to wiggle. Come on Spring! :)
