One of my favorite bikes.
This really nice, low miles one ( B624 LRY ) seen here in early 1991, was the first of 2 that i owned. Loved the power delivery of these.

Sold it to a buyer from Norfollk and remarkably, it has survived.

Love them, the best of the turbo era IMO

I have a Z1B and a Gpz900r and sometimes think of a 750 turbo as well. Getting quite rare now

I ran one for about 4 months, great bike, getting it on boost was joyfull.

The front brakes were poor and the forks on mine were woefull in terms of dive abd damping.

I had a kh400, chain flew off in Warrington, there was a bike shop a couple of miles away, as I was pushing the bike there a chap on a 750 turbo pulled up and said he would give me a lift and bring me back to my bike.
I jumped on the back, didn’t have time to grab a hold of anything when he wound the throttle wide open, I found myself on my arse behind the disappearing bike, laughing he came back and good as his word carried me round until I could get the parts.
Few years later I traded my tzr 250 and some cash for a 750 turbo.

Always wanted one of these but in reality, a distinct lack of ability would mean i would be dead within a week.

Girl at college let me ride hers one lunchtime, i was (legally) riding a ZR50 at time

Although I had been riding large engined bikes since i was 14 (not legally!), it's fair to say i found it a bit of a handful !

Surprisingly good at wheelies though
