Absolutely, one of the first truly reliable high performance “Superbikes” that old 750 SOHC engine was a good thing. Sure it rattled and clunked when the primary chains were worn, but man they kept going and did good. The sound is also iconic. CB750, 812 Yoshi kit and cam, a set of 4 into ones and it’s the prettiest way of turning fuel into poetry on two wheels !
The Z900’s were the next step into the really big performers. I’d love to own a Z one day... Remember the movie “Stone”?
