BB junior has one.The 748S which is a standard engine but with better suspension and mag wheels.Its lovely to ride as a sports bike and a real class act.It has been reliable and has now done about 27000 miles and use has included a trip to the South of France,some long distance stuff here and some town work.In town its awful.Very uncomfortable and very hot to ride with the underseat exhausts and general engine heat.It is also a very small bike so if you are a big bloke that can be an issue.It does cost more than most to service and you probably should take it to a specialist rather than the local bike shop.Overall its an iconic classic that everyone should try.Get a good one.
