Wether you like them or not, I rode a used Kawa LTD 750 Twin for 10 years. The Suzuki is in its way surely a fun to ride bike, if you get used to the chopper riding position....once it was okay, nowadays I prefer to sit on a classic streetbike.

Wisedrum, For the sake of clarity, what do you mean by "chopper" riding position? the bike in the picture has a pretty upright seating position with rearsets and everything, almost exactly like our CB. I do know what you mean by all the Japanese bikes in the early 80's being kind of the same (except for Viragos), but i don't really know of many that got low seats and forward controls until 84 or 85.

This is a picture of a classic GS750.
I think the riding position and the optic will differ from the T model, which has higher handlebars, a smaller and
brighter rear wheel, a lower seat for the rider and maybe a longer fork, all attributes I combine with a bike being slighty choppered right from the manufacturer. In my eyes a soft chopper.
