I brought one the same colour in the 90s for 250 nz dollars. The guy thort the big ends were gone but it was was the starter mechanism i removed the chain. It had no forks as he put them on a triumph. I had 3 of them so I swapped forks and it ran sweet. Awesome bike.

I bought one new. Had it for several years. Sold it because i got heavy into dirt bikes. The only problem i had was the head gasket leaking oil. So i replaced that and at the same time polished the fins. Other than that, it was a great bike.

Bought one in 1973. Departed East Bay in California for Pittsburgh, PA in August. Noticed oil on my pant legs after crossing the Bonneville Salt Flats.

Beautiful! I just bought a -73 red TX750. Very nice to run!

The tx750 is a beautiful bike, unfortunately the engine design wasn’t great. Oiling issues, chain drive balancer, and the exhaust balancer all made it a problem bike. However, it’s rare and because of that, I love it!

Right after I got out of the Navy in 1975 I moved into an apartment my brother just moved out of. It was an old farm house and he rented an out building. A friend of his parked his 750 Yamaha in there and told me I could use it afternoon as he worked evenings as a local cop. I took it out on a nice four lane Connecticut Rt 2 and opened it up. Just as I was starting to slow down I got caught in the speed trap. I was clocked at 87. The bike had a problem in that it had to be on level or leaning into the stand otherwise it’s go over. The state trooper was adamant I get off the bike along his newer cruiser. I did and it tipped and put a dent in his door. He helped me wheel it back behind his cruiser. I didn’t have a clue where the registration was bit I told him a Norwich city cop owned it. They were able to get touch with him. He wrote me a ticket for speeding but he didn’t write me a ticket for not having a motorcycle license. I told him I had a 1972 Honda 350CL and just got out of the service a week before. The state I was stationed in didn’t require a motorcycle license.

I've never actually seen one of these I'm guessing they weren't imported into the UK.

That is so weird, that twin almost sounds like a Triumph Trident 750 triple.

I believe it's because of the triplex chain and the balancer.

Yep, the first A models usually blew up during the Warranty period! Yamaha fixed all the problems with the next year's B model. It was very reliable, if not that fast. But the bike had got such a bad reputation dealers could not sell them! It disappeared after only 2-years production. A B-model runner is rare and is a collector's item nowadays.
