If you want to see beauty as defined by Japan, look no further than the '03 R1, that bike is drop dead gorgeous, Japans focus on copying other people's heritage is a little embarrasing When they have bikes like the Z-REX or GSF1400 both have a real 70's & 80's UJM look going, and the GS series, and of course..........THE BANDIT 1200S...............Gods personnel favorite [he told me]
