PROS
- Euro-Spec Power: Designed for the European market with a punchy 95 hp engine that outperformed the 750cc rivals.
- ComStar Wheels: Early high-tech alloy/steel hybrid wheels that allowed for tubeless tires—a big deal in '79.
- Sporty Ergos: Rear-set footpegs and lower bars compared to standard CBs, giving it a true "café racer" feel from the factory.
- Triple Disc Brakes: Equipped with dual front and single rear discs, offering decent stopping power for a vintage machine.
CONS
- Cam Chain Noise: Early models were known for cam chain tensioner wear, leading to a "rattle" if not maintained.
-
- Heavy Steering: A 19-inch front wheel makes the bike feel stable but slow to tip into tight corners.
-
- Electrical Weakness: The charging system (stator/rotor) is a known "achilles heel" that often needs upgrading.
-
- Cold Blooded: The 32mm Keihin carburetors can be finicky and require a long warm-up time on chilly mornings.
