#YamahaGL750Two-stroke

In 1971, I was no more than a pup, but that was probably about the time I started reading all the motorcycle magazines at the drugstore, of which there were a bunch. Twenty years later, when writing motorcycle magazines became my business, and I spent a large amount of time rooting through back issues in the library (how quaint) and old press kits – BG (before Google) – I’d still never seen this motorcycle until somebody threw it up on Facebook a few days ago, on the Classic Japanese page. (I’m told it was on the cover of Cycle Guide back in the day, don’t know how I missed it?)
