I owned one, and I can understand why some people bought these and went out and killed themselves. It's a beast. 74hp three cylinder 2 cycle, kinda like a 250cc motocross engine times three, on crack.

Had a 72 500 triple. That was death on 2 wheels. Didn't keep it long for the fact of after an hour of riding when you got off you whole body was shaking for hours. Moved up to my first new bike 1975 KZ900. Now that was a machine.
