Saving old iron

All three bikes were left to rot in a barn for 20 some odd years. Between my buddies and I we saved them and had them out for the maiden voyage on Sunday. Pictured left to right 80 Yamaha 650 maxim 79 Kawasaki kz650b (mine) and 83 Honda super magna 750.

I'd rather burn 36 year old rice than $40k on a name any day

Technically the 2015 ninja 1000rr that's just out of frame on the left. ;) But... Comparing these bikes I'd say the 750 super magna. Comparing the two 650s its a tossup
