They added all that power and acceleration and cheaped out on the brakes.

That 750 really needs dual front disc brakes.  You can see that the disc has started to get abused.  That makes me laugh when they talk about all the engineering that has gone into it and they don't address stopping ability.

I have a Kawasaki Z-1.  I added the second front brake in 1981.  It needed it.
