One of the coolest Japanese bikes I've seen in the road in person was the Suzuki RG500 2-stroke.

As soon as I saw this thread I thought the same thing.  The Japanese Two-strokes (classics street-bikes).. I had a Yamaha RZ500.. Wish I still did...

Some guy in Goleta CA is dumping his collection on Craigslist, at a steep price.

All look to be in good condition, if not correct.  Your posing abilities would become legendary.  

I'm all out of clever.

I could fill pages with pics of what I think are cool Japanese bikes of yesteryear.

But are there any miscellaneous cool current era Japanese bikes?

He's a little steep on that RG500 for my wallet!

I changed to Italian because I wanted a Monster.  Got GSXR I totaled was fast but had no personality.

Hmmmmm....  Good question.

Honda Grom?

Kawasaki H2R maybe?  (if one could get over that styling...)

Yamaha R3?

I dunno...  I'm reaching here.

That NS400R is not priced too high IMO... I like and could afford that!
