HondaAddict, how can you be one with a Ninja parked in the background, is that your forbidden fruit you taste from time to time?
What year is the kawa and other bikes? Very nice work on your restoration of this '75. I haven't seen the big signals on the early fork ears...but I guess that was a '76 and later fork ear design with the huge tubes built in...

Thanks! I haven't paid attention to whether the fork ears/signals are correct for the year. I thought they were, but it came with the wrong exhaust system so nothing would surprise me.
The 2002 250 Ninja belongs to my wife. We were looking for a starter bike for her and came across this one for a price we couldn't refuse. It's light and low, so she's comfortable with it. I enjoy throwing it around on a twisty road and hearing it howl like a coyote near its 14k redline, so it's fun for both of us.
The 1984 V65 Sabre is my daily rider. It was a $200 barn (garage) find that I refurbished in 2015. My signature has a link to the rebuild thread on the V4MuscleBike forum. IMO, this bike is a marvel for its age. Quiet, smooth and plenty powerful. I haven't found a use for the all the torque it can produce, but it'll come in handy if I ever need to pull a freight train.
And the 1986 Z50 is another little marvel that my kids have outgrown but I'll never sell. I still use it as a runabout at the cottage and it works great. I plan to restore it for my future grandkids.
I call myself an addict because I have what some might call an unhealthy loyalty to the Honda brand. The bug bit me when I had a 1977 CB400F back in the early 1980's and I've never shaken it. Our household currently has a CR-V, an Accord, two Civics, three Honda bikes and a Honda snowblower. But I can quit anytime I want.
