One of the models that embodied perhaps better than many others Yamaha’s ideal of building motorcycles that are “slim, compact and fun to ride” was the XJ750E. By locating the generator on the back side of the cylinders in an air-cooled 4-stroke DOHC in-line format, produced an engine that was exceptionally slim. This was an astonishing feat for a 4-cylinder 750cc, and it won the admiration of fans as a highly controllable 750
