the SS line was just sexy! Those curves are just erotic. When polished up, the reflection of light is sumptuous and firing the beasts up always brings out the grins! As for 750 vs 900, I found my 750 much more manageable in traffic and cramped city spaces, and running with 900's on fairly tight back mountain roads always left me in the lead (without the sore wrists of the other guys). Getting on the expressway and grabbing a handful of throttle were the only times I felt less endowed, but putting up with traffic on a hot summer day made me glad I had an oil bath clutch several times. THe best thing is the differences in personality both sizes had even though they were in the same series (the 400 made for Japan is just too underpowered). Hated to give mine up.
