My first full size bike. This bike was truly a classic, it looked good, the motor was strong and I went some great places on it exploring the western states of the USA. In the summer of 1980 my English motorcycling friend Wayne came to visit for the first time and we naturally went off for a bike trip. At the same time my sister was over so I rode the 750 with wife on back and he took her CX500 with my sister on the back, she had never been on a bike trip before but seemed to like it. We went all over the southern half of California in a big loop from the Bay Area to Lake Tahoe to Death Valley to LA and up the coast, good trip although my sister complained seeing too much countryside.

The bike served well for 4 years and 44,000 miles until it was stolen one day and found in a field wrecked.
