The Yamaha XS750 and its larger XS850 sibling formed a line of inline three cylinder motorcycles that Yamaha built from 1976 to 1981 for the worldwide market. It was released in Japan in 1976 as the GX750 with wire wheels, because cast alloy wheels were not yet approved for road use there, and took the name XS750 for export. The shaft driven triple displaced 750 cc for the first four model years and 826 cc, sold as the 850, for the last two. Readers voted it the 1977 Motorcycle News Machine of the Year, ending the four year run of the Kawasaki Z1. Early bikes had reliability problems, notably a second gear that dropped into neutral under load, and the 2D of May 1977 brought a 3 into 2 exhaust, transistor ignition and more power.
