The X-75 Hurricane was a 1972 factory special styled by American designer Craig Vetter, built on the BSA/Triumph triple. It had a triple exhaust on the right, longer forks and a swoopy fibreglass tank and seat unit. Only about 1,200 were made, and it is now a collector item credited with helping inspire the cruiser look.
