@750cafe,
In other words you don't agree that when the CB750k  came out it was the fastest and most desirable bike on the market?

No, he means , why is it on your list when you already have one...?

On this thread there is the original poll. The new, corrected version, is here: http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=144002.0

At first I was interested to verify if the CB750 would be preferred by the majority and which would be the 3 runner up but, after having posted the poll, I realized that it wasn't possible to allow for 4 choices and to have them selected in order of preference.

I was advised to post a new poll, which I did, with a revised title and I locked the poll on this thread (he cannot vote here). I will now add a link to the new poll.

Is this better?

BINGO!!! Was it that hard to understand?  And... why did three people vote for it?

Suzuki GS...? naaaaa... never made the cut! It certainly sold a bit, but it was not as iconic as the K.

Maybe not as iconic as a K, but it did set a high standard in performance.  After 40 years of owning nothing but Hondas, I'm really impressed with, and love riding this GS1000S.  Easy to work on, and just a bullet-proof engine that really hauls ass.

Yep!!
Lets be clear, nothing Japanese is as iconic as the 750/4, being the first of the modern mass produced four cylinder road bikes, it has its place in history, but o do many other bikes of the 1970's. Alternatively, as the thread title suggests, The GS was a far better bike in the fact that it was probably the best handling big four of the 1970's and killed everything on the track in its class, the GS series bikes led to the iconic XR69 race bikes which was the forerunner to the GSXR's 0f the early 1980's another iconic series of bikes. I would say it fits this category perfectly....

Always like the Wes Cooley Suzuki gs1000 Replica a very nice bike now and even in the day
