Who cares what bike he rode? He could have ridden a Honda and still been cool!

In the later episodes (leather jacket) he was seen with Triumph 500cc and 650cc Triumph twins and once with a BSA. The bike most associated with "the Fonz" would be a mid-50's to mid-60's Triumph twin. A 50's Bonneville would work nicely and parts are readily available. Triumph also makes new bikes that greatly resemble the old bikes.

In real life, actor Henry Winkler is terrified of motorcycles. During the 11 season run of the series there was only one scene of him actually riding a motorbike, a Triumph. He rode up a driveway and didn't know how to stop the bike, crashing into two production assistants.
