I've always liked parallel twins and rode all of the ones available during that time frame, the real Triumph Bonneville, the 750 Norton, even rode a Matchless once, rode the Suzuki Tempter, the Honda CB 500, and the Yamaha TX500, TX/XS650's, and TX 750. The Yamaha 650 twins appealed to me the most and I ended up owning 3 of them a 73 TX, a 79 XS and an 81 XS Special. I also bought a 2003 Hinkley Triumph Bonneville which was one heck of a bike, but I still prefer the Yamaha 650 twins.
