Motorcycles--where dreams come true...

To Westerners, motorcycles are arguably the most familiar aspect of Japanese engineering prowess.

Please enjoy the eye-candy below...

The Black Bomber--where it all started in the 60s

The CB 750--mother of all superbikes. First OHC on a bike,
first disc brake on a bike. The shape of things to come.

The Z-1--King of the Street

Yamaha 750 triple--first use of shaft-drive without torque effect.
One of the best touring bikes ever built.

Suzuki RE5--first use of water-cooling. Nicknamed:
'The Flying Tea Kettle'

 

1999 Back to the future. The Kawasaki W650. I think I am in love...

Shaft-driven bevel-gear camshaft--gorgeous...
Everything the BSA should have been (but never was)

Another look, before we go
