How do u ride one
I've read through all the posts and found them to be very interesting. I had heard of the automatic but never knew of the 750 variant.
So what do u do, put it in drive and just stear.. no gears to shift.

Steer and brake.
Back in 76 when I was parts manager I'd take one for a parts run or lunch once and a while just for a laugh as I had my 750K5 and then a K6, just to compare the Automatic to.
It has 2 speeds, slow(low) for a little more ummmph to take off in if needed, then shift up to D.
Or just sloooowerrrrr(drive), stock out of the box a real slug.
But as with any 750, you can get big bore kits, cams, bigger valves, port it and bigger carbs if you want to make it breath to get more out of it. Many have been dragged at the tracks.
