In 1973, Yamaha released the TX750 – an incredibly smooth parallel twin that journalists loved…until the fancy Omni-Phase balancer that kept the twin as smooth as a four started eating up crankshafts. Even though Yamaha fixed the issue pretty quickly, the reputation of unreliability had already stuck – the bike was out of the market after 1974. Still, Yamaha knew it needed a big bike to compete, so they decided to go with a triple, and the XS750 was born.
The classic British twin styled Yammie produced 64 horsepower from the straight-three, had a 106 mph top speed, and weighed 511 pounds dry, but none of those digits give you a sensation of the overall package – Cycle World named it one of their top 10 and called it a bargain BMW.
