I love the way older bikes are treated in Japan.
In north America we tend to see older bikes as disposable in our quest for the latest and greatest.

Maybe we‘re not remembering that these old bikes require (a lot) of maintenance and repairs (and) upgrades to keep them running. The pics here mostly show highly modified race oriented versions of ‘stock’ bikes of the era. I kept and rode two 1970 CB750s into the 90s and a 79 and 82 CBX until recently. They are expen$ive to maintain much less modify like most here show, different wheels, ignitions, alternators, wiring, shocks, forks, brakes, swingarms, exhaust and tires and even frames. I loved the old bikes but tired of continually renewing them, or pieces of them.
