Jap bikes, often hacked up shit, but sometimes not.

some clean lines can be found in the cheaper more reliable yet less respected jap bikes. I'm a fan of the twin engines, because I hate rebuilding carbs. the kawasaki kz750 twin may be my next jap project

Suzuki GS450. so cheap, why not

pretty easy to maintain, cheap parts, lots to cut off, 6 speed, and about $30 a year insurance. perfect for cities.
