TX750 is one of the sexiest bikes ive ever seen. I dearly miss those analog dashboards also. Things were just better back in the day.

Thanks mate, they sure are a nice old bike, sure they had some problems back in the day but now mine is so reliable and fun to ride.

Hello, I even 45 years ago had been riding on the TX-750. I traveled all over Japan. I really missed it.

Hi Tatsu, just wondering did you own this bike, I purchased this bike about 5 years and it was imported from Japan, if you did let me know.

I bought one may 1973 in Freeport Illinois. Loved that bike. Rode it to Fort Carson Colorado. In June that year. Had it for many years lot of trips. Sold it for a BMW , Now I ride a Tri Glide.

I always have believed Yamaha Nippon Seiki instrumentation of that time was some of the most beautiful designs in motorcycling history. Just proper gauges.

Hey- I had one of those, back in 1980. (Many fond memories, and some notso: Very smooth/ powerfull and quick. Negatives were: sacked cheapo front fork springs, (Uphill corners were ok. Downhill corners were deadly), and a counterbalancer problem. Far as I know- the first counter balanced bike motor, was the Yammy TX500. The balancer on both these bikes, was chain driven, off the crank, and no provision was made, for tensioning that chain. The chain stretch, caused the motor to go out of balance. Yamaha provided a bolt in tensioner , which fixed that, (if the motor lasted long enough.) But yeah: very comfortable to sit on, and nice for long rides. .

By the time this one was made in 1974 they had sorted out all the problems, I've done 25K trouble free riding on mine.

I had one of these. the orange model. never had any problems with it. most people riding had the 750 Honda 4 cylinder.

I have no issues with the balance chain, I adjusted it about 5 years ago and done about 10 k since, they are very reliable.

Nice bike , never got them in UK . Looks like an xs650 with a xs500 engine in , so I presume the 750 is a bored and stroked 500 motor ?

@hodaka1000 2 жыл бұрын

No.. they look much like a 500 engine but they're the real deal a factory 750 They were never common but we had them here in Australia

No need for the kick starter Phillip, the Electric works every time.

@billallen4793 10 ай бұрын

Kicking this little 750cc twin to life isn't very hard. I had a 103ci shovelhead that was the hardest kick to start bike I ever owned! I finally added a decompression button on both cylinders. Afterwards, I didn't ask the group for volunteers to kick my bike. Only newbies jumped at the opportunity to attempt "the chore" my nickname for starting that monster!...from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 👋🤠

Great video! I have a question. What is that bright red light that goes on and off? I dont remember having that on my TX 750. Maybe its special for Australia? Opps no need to answer that I saw your explanation down under. he he. Mine was a 74 with oil cooler. Dark green and I loved to drive it and the great sound from the twin. Later on I switched it for the RD350 also an excellent bike.😎

Nice bike and a wonderful road! I notice you have twin discs as in Europe, was that standard in AUS? Whats the red light between the speedo and tacho? I have a red -73 TX. BR, Mats

@yamonda900 Жыл бұрын

Hi mate, this bike is a Japanese domestic model , it only came from Japan when I bought it about 7 years ago, it only had 14950 kms on the clock , for some unknown the Japanese had twin disc and the red light between the clocks comes on when you get over 80 kph , this must have been the speed limit in Japan in the 1970's , I've left it on and it can be quite bright at night , this is a great old bike , I've done over 25000 kms on it since I bought it , no problems.

@matsfredsson9445 Жыл бұрын

@@yamonda900 Aha, some kind of speed warning? Thanks for the explanation! :-) Mine is a european red TX with twin discs, and done only 25000 since new. I woke it up after been of the road for 15 years, did the road inspection, and is now road legal for ever (bikes older than 40 years has for ever inspection in Sweden)

I agree with you, thanks for the comment , my 1974 TX750 A is awesome, not so my 1972 TX750, it was stuffed in 3 months, I now have a CB750 motor in it, no problems now.
