Plus, all GL1000's came naked. No factory fairings or saddlebags. The 75-77 engines also had more aggressive cam profiles. While all 1000's were officially rated at "80hp" it is believed that the 75-77's made closer to around 90-95hp, which for the time was "superbike" power. They have decent torque still, but they don't really pull hard until 4000+ rpm.
