"There are some things nobody needs in this world, and a bright-red, hunch-back, warp-speed 900cc cafe racer is one of them — but I want one anyway, and on some days I actually believe I need one....

Both are beautiful and it was a toss up, so I selected the green one just because it was just like the one I owned as a teenager.  I went from a 1971 CB500 to a CB750 because I wanted more power, but I have always thought that the CB500 was the most beautiful bike Honda created.  Congratulations to both of you for a job well done.
