They were not bigger but heavier. If that is what you mean they sat no higher then todays bikes and had twin to four cylinders the only bikes that had V-twins were harleys then as Henderson went out of business. But they were tubular steel all the way around a ‘74 750 that I own has a dry wieght is 750lbs. A new 75O would wieght 100 or more pounds less. With better balanceing with computers these new bikes are well designed to distrubute the wieght evenly between the tires.

IN the mid 60s the 3 greatest possessions a man could have were a Martin Guitar, a Nikon Camera and a Triumph motorcycle. The Triumph Bonneville was a 650cc. Also it was about 52 hp. They leaked oil from every seal, ran fair but not far, and the lighting was by a company named Lucas (known as the prince of darkness). We have come a long way baby. HD made its 74 inch, a sportster was 55 inch (883cc) and Norton made a 750. After these it was downhill. Then came 1969 and Honda’s 750cc 4 cyl…. the revolution was on in earnest. Enjoy the ride!
