Those of us that grew up with Japanese bikes were proud of that distinction. There is nothing retro (historically) about a Honda with tinted pipes.
Well, it depends on how you look at it. As I recall, back in the day, the first thing that 9 out of 10 UJM owners did was ditch the beautiful chrome pipes and fit a MAC/Kerker/Yosh 4 into 1 SS pipe.
When I initially saw the 4 into 1 on the CB1100 I thought that's what Honda was going for.
