Classic motorcycle predictions
A prescient
story from 1978

Today we tripped over a
gem of a story, out of the March 1978 edition of USA
mag Cycle Illustrated, predicting which recent
exotic Euro models would become a mid-range

Top of the list were the
Ducati 750 Sport and GT of the era, followed by the
Moto Guzzi V7 Sport. There were a few others and the
selection still works today.
