lets the good old TX750 out seeing as that was pre 1980.

XV (and Virago) are V engine, not parallel twins. TDM was 850cc.

 

Since when is an XV or Virago a parallel twin?

Super-Tenere is a parallel twin 750 (XTZ750), late 80's

TDM is an 850 and now a 900 never a 750, so it's out too.

There was a Super-Ténére with the 850 in it though (Raid rally use only)

Sorry but forgot to say, in a Road Bike

 

25 years takes you to 1980, no 750 road twins since then I can remember,
like Zebee said, the TX750 back in the mid 70's, but no road parallel twin
750's since from Yamaha. The XS750 was a triple, XV750 is a v-twin, fz750
is a four etc. The TDM850 is a road bike, but it's an 850, not a 750.

.... and the Super Ténéré was a 750cc 4-stroke parallel twin,
so you're right there.

Someone said something about road bikes: well, it's road registerable
therefore it's a road bike, right Hammo?

XS750 ? Does that squeak into the time frame ?

JL
(can't think of any others, TRX was an 850)

 

Damn straight. Look at the SuperRetard bikes. Nuff said.

Hammo

 

That's a bit of a denigrating classification!

 

Squeaks in a little easier if you remove the middle cylinder ...

there was a 750cc p2 super trailey thingey , precursor to tdm 850

 

you mean the xtz750

fore runner to the tdm850 and the mighty trx.

can't miss it has the classic paris-dakar look

dual round headlights, white with red trim. etc.

 

Yeah so it was, oops.

And now Iprimus newsserver is back up, I can see this was already
mentioned and excluded <sigh>

Hi Nev, there are apparently a few roads about but I haven't been on any
rides yet. The traffic cops are pretty bad here apparently - they can
estimate your speed and it sticks in court, blah.

 

There's a nice road down round the back of the Sterling ranges with no cops.
The only place I ever hit the double ton in my old dunnydore was down there
