The former attempted to break new ground technically with a three cylinder [[shaft-drive]] [[Yamaha XS750|XS750]], while Suzuki followed the classic route of a transverse four-cylinder layout. Kawasaki was still behind with only a twin cylinder [[Kawasaki KZ750B|KZ750]]. | ||
==Errors of Judgment== | ==Errors of Judgment== | ||
Suzuki had previously made two costly errors of judgement. The first had been the highly original [[Suzuki GT750|GT 750 three-cylinder two-stroke]], which lacked sportiness and didn't conform to the antipollution laws, and the second was the [[Suzuki RE5|rotary-engined RE5]]. This time the [[marque]] was taking no risks, and satisfied itself by producing the best possible interpretation of a well-proven theme. Its sensible styling was inspired by the [[Honda CB750F]], while the twin overhead-camshaft engine was comparable with the [[Kawasaki]] power unit. | Suzuki had previously made two costly errors of judgement.
