The L-series 750 was a lighter, stronger-framed development of the E model, with its engine bored out to 66mm for 74 hp. It had air-assisted forks, a larger 22 litre tank and a four-into-two exhaust on a black engine with polished fin tips. The road test found it fast and comfortable for its time and cheaper in the UK than its rivals.
