Not all that long ago, historically speaking, a 750 was a Superbike. I remember when the Canadian racing rules changed and Francis Martin went out for qualifying on his new Gixxer 1K. A back marker didn't abide by the gentlemen's agreement that only the top ten would be on-track for the last ten minutes of times qualifying. Francis gave it a *bit* too much throttle coming around the outside of him, damned near highsided himself into next week, but somehow saved it enough to ride it the hundred yards across the grass and into the track fence.
