Oh yeah. this is the pinnacle of the SOHC 750. more horsepower and better acceleration and dual front disc brakes. I was out today on mine practicing some slow speed turning and I was lock to lock left to right. I only had to dab once and that was 'cause I was scared not because the bike was actually going to fall ove.r I can do a u-turn in a 1 1/2 parking spots. I alos like how it rides and handles at speed too Granted the only thing I have to compare it to is a 73 CB350 f and a 76 cb360 twin, so take that for what its worth. But I rode the crap out of both of them.
