+1...........Everytime I take my '75 Z1-B 900 out for a spin someone wants to try and buy it and or spin a tale about so n so who had one back in the day!
My cousin had a "Widow Maker" 750 triple back in 1975 ,I think his was actually a '73 model, it was Gold, I do remember that ( ??) but anyway, that thing was "STUPID FAST!! I can remember thinking at the time he was gonna get hurt bad on it! Fortunately he didn't and we both still ride!
