from the perspective of having had a few 750's I'd rate the older carb model as motor wise feeling a bit perkier than the injection version. But the long intake is the same so they both act as portable ice making devices, but only when the air temp and humidity conspire. Both could do with a bit of suspension tweaking but if you hang on to them they'll cover the ground quick enough to hang onto a 900.
Planted and a great ride even in challenging conditions... Done blizzards ... Done floods with the water up to my knees (feet on pegs!!!) ... They Just kept going
