This bike was ridden to the 1979-1980 AFM 750 Production championship by internationally known rider John Williams, of Oakland, California. It remains tight and crisp and is ready for street or vintage motorcycle racing. The carburetion has a unique jetting that optimizes mid-range punch, a setup that was created by Famous Girl Tuner, Nora Hamilton. (If you don’t think a woman can tune a championship winning motorcycle, the final standings are below.)

Unlike many bikes that have had aftermarket performance parts slapped on as if they were plug & play, this bike has been professionally set up for everything to work together at peak performance. In it’s time, this was the fastest <750cc Production class motorcycle in California.
