Original launch propaganda.
Looks bloody frightening by todays standards! Check out the front brakes.

knee sliders...????
anyone notice the bike barely gets tilted thru corners
as one who had a GeePeeZee7fiddy turbo there is good reason for that
it doesn't like corners, skinny tyres shit brakes and a bicycle frame see to that
astonishing quick a straight line (10.7 ΒΌ mile) the 750 turbo
was a bike full of contradictions. Most here today would have a heart attcak
riding one of these ol dungers
cheers

Bahhh there's nothing wrong with skinny tyres, shitty brakes and old style frames....my old dunger has them all and it's a hoot to ride. I reckon most riders would have a ball riding one of these old dungers and wonder what all the fuss was about

Could not agree more. The young pups today have NFI what its like to punt a REAL motorcycle........blah blah blah.......skinny tyres and hinge in the frame puts fuckin' HAIR on your chest .......dribble dribble dribble.........Get overtaken by a Kwakka9 on the old road and discover what biking's all about you young whippersnappers......wet fart wet fart wet fart...............Nurse its time to change the adult diapers...............
