In 1976, it was the first full year model of Meriden Co-op, a newly-formed and owned subsidiary of Meriden. Some 60,000 twin-carburetor Bonnevilles and single-carb Tiger 750s (and other variants) were produced. The classic air-cooled, parallel-twin displaced 724cc on early bikes but after mid-’73 was bumped to 744cc. Early five-speed gearboxes shifted on the right; 1975 and later were left-hand shift.
