Granted I can get style ideas from looking at them, but it just seems like the market is very much focused on that model. Just curious is all. The realm of "vintage" Japanese bikes is a bit new to me.
Regards.

Its the Chevy vs Ford of the motorcycle world lol. We all have different taste.
You will find guys that modify Hondas tend to go Cafe, where Kawi guys tend to go more vintage Superbike.
I have had plenty of Hondas, many CB400F's, CB550K, 750K, 750F's etc. But they are Drab and boring compared to the raw KZ series. I'll withdraw that statement for the 400F's as they are a pretty cool little bike. But Hondas in general are too refined and just plain uninteresting because of it.

All parts are generally available for cb750's at least, often oem...Kaw's seem to have excellent aftermarket engine parts availability due to long time domination of drag racing but stuff other than the motors is scarcer. Honda's are more popular for cafes because they are generally lighter in stock form and the frames are possibly a bit stiffer...now don't get me wrong guys, when it comes to hp?...a cb750 vs a Z1?... :sick:
Thanks for the input. Thanks everyone for all the input. I think they're all really cool, in they're own right, I'm very happy with my choice.
