Most jap bikes have no soul. They are steril and ugly with lots of plastic to increase the uglyness. Nothing like a bunch of angular plastic to get that "low budget 80's future movie" affect. I do have to admitt though, an old school early 70's Honda cb 550 is a cool looking bike.

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. Edgar Allan Poe
