It was Kawasaki that made the first cruiser styled bike then Yam and then HD
then Susuki.Anybody that thinks the japs are copying HD with the cruiser style have it wrong.HD didn't come out with a factory custom until the superglide based Night train.The style may be American but HD had FA to do with it.They just followed a trend that was set by chopper riders But the japs beat them to it by two years,,so who's really copying who??
Bloody HD huh,, just a Kawasaki clone!!

Kawasaki LTD series was a bit before 1985. I think around 1979. Suzuki "L" series was about the same time as the LTDs. Basicly following Yamahas lead if anything. HD were in dire straits at the time and punters were wanting an alternatives to the traditional UJM styling.

Now that wasn't hard was it?
Reminds me of the time the HD and me, on my 650 custom, left the Wellington ferrie. Pissing down it was, in bucket loads. The HD stopped 5 miles down the motorway. The ol CB650 made it all the way to Hastings without a hickup .

Poor Jim2 is having reoccurring threadmares lol.
