There doesn't seem to be many mods - unless the US versions don't have scooters!
Nice bikes though, hope they all get ridden regularly.

There were a few scooters. A sweet restoration won the scooter class.
The Pittsburgh area has a lot of steep hills & you don’t see very many scooters on the streets.

I typically take pics of Suzukis & Nortons. Have never had a Norton but have liked them going back to when they were new & way out of my price range. Left-shift versions are rare & big $$$, but I may end up with one someday.

Talked to 2 guys with work-in-progress GT750s.
One recently bought a nice one & has it in a shop getting ready for the street.
The other built the little green Honda CB in my 9th pic. He got a low-dollar 72 GT750 project bike & wanted to talk tech issues.
Both had me run my gray GT750 with the Jemco 3-into-1 chambers.
