The 750 twin was one of the last bikes I worked on while at the shop. Not impressed.

I'm not sure why he isn't impressed but to me the 750 twin has a lot of low end grunt, well not A LOT, and is so-so. Whereas the inline 4's are faster and smoother machines, I'd say my kz550 was faster than the 750 twin I had. They're both nice bikes tho

The KZ 750 had some issues. I remember service bulletins coming out about them. That was long ago (late 80's) but I do remember having to redo the counter balancer on that machine. It had skipped and vibrated horribly. CV carbs, etc. The bike looked great but after I repaired it, the owner traded it in for a KZ 1000. Happy as a clam.
More of personal thing I guess. Good luck with it.
