    I've always liked the look of the CB750. Awesome bike, and just screams "power".

    No contest, KZ!

    If you're a little more budget-minded, KZ750's look great and have parallel twins so they sound good. However they are heavy. The KZ650 is quite quick and you could find them cheaper.

    Re: clash of styles

    Welcome! Now is the perfect time to pick up a good "classic" and make it the vision of a bike you'd like. Bobber or cafe, you can make it one or the other during the winter. Take it out in the spring and if it doesn't tickle your fancy, change it around. An older CB or XS converts pretty easy to a cafe. Or bob an old savage.

    I'm partial to HD myself and some older sportsters can be found at a reasonable price if you're patient.


    Good luck.

    Cheers.

    Harleys aren't my scene, but I have to say the XLCR is really cool.

    I bet they're expensive - but there's conversion kits available.
