They were the most beautiful bikes ever made. After that they lost their soul to speed. Very fast and efficient. Nothing more. The modern classics recapture the best of them and more efficient in the same time. They are the true evolution of these bikes

Yes, I guess their soul become speed then handling. The old bikes and cars were very raw but the average person could feel what they were doing. When I think back I was probably more attached to them almost as if they were alive if that makes any sense.

Ahhh.. right there at 4:30. The blue one. That's my exact (same model & colour, thank you) bike which I bought new in 1974. The Water Buffalo was the best bike I've ever owned (and I've had a few others since then, I'm 62 now...). Would trade my current Beemer for that Blue Kettle pictured in a heartbeat. Those blokes did an excellent job restoring all of those bikes. Thanks for sharing!

A lovely reminder of how good looking the motorcycles of this era really were, and how truly ugly so many look today!. Bikes l owned (if anyone is interested). 1967Suzuki 50, Suzuki RV125, Suzuki TC185,Yamaha TY250 trials, Yamaha YB 100,' Suzuki GP 125, Suzuki T90 'wolf', Suzuki x4125 twin, Yamaha Ag bike, Tas Taka 100, Kawasaki 500 triple, Kawasaki KR 150,( my most fun bike and the one most missed), then a SYM.50cc scooter after retiring, now sold. Lovely to see these older machines, so many good memories! Rode for some 45 years but thankfully never had a road accident or injury, great video, many thanks.

+SanFranciscoBay For me, you could not beat the unique sound of Suzuki'sGT750 "Water Buffalo" as you American's called it. That lovely cracklesound when idling, which turned into a turbine like roar as the throttle wasopened. It was music to my ears. Those Kawasaki's that you mentionedto me, had a much harsher sound to them, compared to the old Suzuki's,which sounded more refined. I absolutely loved the Kawasaki 900 Z1it was probably my all time favourite Japanese motorcycle, with Suzuki'sGT750 coming a close second.

+SanFranciscoBay I don't understand why people are crazy aboutfitting expansion chamber on their bikes. OK, so it made them sound noisier, and some claim faster, but for me it spoilt the classicgood looks of those old machines. They looked far better in stocktrim, and still do.

+Gary Dun. If you were deaf, expansion chambers would not make much of an audio difference, but because we can hear and see, expansion chambers refine and improve the sound of the two stroke, giving it a clearer, popping/crackling sound, which I think sounds better and looks better than the stock exhaust pipes.

The RD350 was easily the performance king in that class and backed up on the track with the TR & TZ's. I was lucky enough to have riden a MachIII and survived, I had a couple of close calls where I pushed it further than it wanted to go but it was that sound when it hit 6000rpm it just made me keep it wide open!

My girlfriend and me rode trouble free all the way to Ibiza in 1973 and it never missed a beat .we clocked up over 2000 miles , that sort of milage was unheard of in those days on an English bike.. happy days

A friend of mine and I are always discussing the differences between British design and culture and Japanese design and culture. There is no questioning the differences, they are what they are, and we both love Commandos and Bonnies and Manx, etc. But I grew up in the 60' and 70's in Florida, USA. (As an aside, my Mum and older brother were born in NZ). I worked at a Honda/Kawasaki dealer in Miami. I am very familiar with EVERY Japanese bike and I am here to tell you they are just as desirable to me, especially as I get older. The memories alone are so much a part of me. I probably owned about 20 of the bikes here and I wish I had every one of them back. They were just special. Some in one regard or others in many regards. My all time favorites were my Kawasaki A7 Avenger and my first year 250 Elsinore. As they say, "Tanks for the memories!".

Awesome comments, and cool to have part of the family from these parts :). Your happiness makes me happy too. I really think you echo so many here. I think the coolest bikes were the 70's, they were getting over the flex-frame and short stiff suspension and progressed to great riding machines to match the better roads we were getting. Although my favorites were the mirror and peg vibrating 2-strokes, I think it was the noise they made when twisting the throttle until max revs in every gear. I swapped my PE250 for a day for a friends GSX750 and the fella said it didn't have much power, so I said twist the throttle and wait until it stops picking up then change gear. He came back with a smile from ear to ear going WOW!

Interestingly one of my bikes, a TX650 yamaha , had a very poor reputation for handling before PercyTait put the designers on the right path, but it is such a nice bike to ride now, with a mod or two.

Agree with the handling of some but then a few were actually very good, when the RD350 came out it could go like a 650, handle and stop well and weighed nothing. The TX650 was old school with nice styling, they used them as cop bikes here. Bad handling I think of the CB360 or Mach3 although one of these at least went like greased lightning. As a boy I loved the looks of the TX750, a local guy owned one and redlined it everywhere LOL. They made some really nice twins back then.

I started working in a Honda/BSA shop in '63. The CB-92 Benly, CB-72/77 Hawk/Super Hawk, and the 250 scrambler were in vogue. Saw none of them or the later CB-160s or S-90s in this video which was surprising. Still interesting to view though. Difficult to find a two stroke such as Suzuki or Yamaha of that early vintage in good running condition these days. They don't store well due to condensation on the engine bearings unless they're run with some regularity to keep the oil fresh.

Those 3 items and a couple of gearing changes made that little 350 come alive on the street!😉 They would have benefited from a better timing system (like gears instead of a chain), but I guess they were trying to keep the cost and noise down in favor of longevity over high performance...

@@mauriceadamson224 Ouch! There's generally only one reason a 350F will burn a piston, and that's if the carbs are seriously out of sync (or a partially clogged jet). Their carb linkage left a lot to be desired and they generally had to be re-synchronized every 3-5000 miles. I hammered on mine for close to 70,000 miles before it got so loose, it would barely run anymore. I had already got into something with more displacement by then, so I sold it to my younger brother. No idea what he did with it. I ended up finding another one ('72 model) that was wrecked, several years ago, and restored it back to original.😉

It's a toss up between the Honda 350 and 400 fours and the CX650 turbo. Admittedly the 650 turbo was actually faster than my 1986 VFR 750.

Very cool. Nice turn out of bikes. Loved my RD350 fantastic bike, not so much my "waterbottle" but it did have a certain charm and a whole lot of stubbornness. I currently ride Moto Guzzi Monza and was intrigued as to what the Green V twin (Guzzi style) was in the photos at the end??

The RD350 was iconic in the day and you were very fortunate to have had one. The green bike is a Lilac 250 from around 1960

Me too, I preferred them when I was younger even if I could hardly open my hand from vibration after a long ride or see out of the mirrors, the big Suzuki was much better than the 500 and 250's I rode

Thanks for the video it sure brought some very good old memories from the 70' and 80's era. Iove those bikes, they had nice shape and presence and they were very comfortable to ride all day not like the new super sport bikes in these days they are uncomfortable. Do they have similar classic bikes for sale in Sydney?

I had the same coloured CBX and year really wasn't a fan of that bike. It seemed to be under powered and during the summer it was very hot with the huge 6 cylinder but in the cool weather during the spring and fall that was a bonus. Actually this looks like the motorcycle parking area at my highschool in the mid to late 70's.
