Some newbie questions about later models K7/k8's
« on: May 24, 2010, 03:43:10 PM »
What's the opinions overall about the later model K's, like the K7's and K8's, as opposed to the K2-K6's ?

I've always liked the profile and styling of the KO-K6 myself. The K7-K8 when all is said and done were probably better all around bikes than the early K's, but I just never like the styling change that they made on the K7-K8's. In my opinion if you have a K2 and a K7 parked side by side the K2 will get all the attention. Nothing against the later K's I know alot of forum members have them parked in there garages to, all of them are nice bikes, I just favor the early K's.

Everyone seems to prefer the model they find in their garage  ;)
It is a proven fact that modifying a SOHC Honda in any way will bring on the apocalypse.

It's all a matter of personal opinion......I like the early ones, and don't care for the later years with the "tail".

I like my K1's profile, it looks lower and faster, but the look from behind of my K7 with the wider tank gives it more of a meaner/heftier style.

Like Nikkisixx said, I like the look of both on my back porch!
