Or you could always just fix up a 90′s kawasaki zephyr to get that look for so much less.

makes me wish i still had my ’81 cb 750f supersport and the money and skills to do something like this to it. i’m going to day dream for a little bit then get back to work.

The world is a hard place. Jay Leno, Tom Cruise etc have fleets of cars and motorcycles that they don’t ride or drive more than once or twice, while poor motorcycle lovers dream of a clean resto-mod much cheaper, simpler, cleaner and less prestigious than anything they’d bother with.

Same as you, I’m not from USA, but my pleasure is to take something used and upgrade it, mostly with self-modified parts from a breakers yard.
A full set of 3 good used Blue Dot calipers costs no more than 100 pounds UK, less than 200 for a pair of FJR forks…. and its amazing what can be done with a few tools and a polishing kit!

This one is a beaut though… evrything done to the highest standard, no compromises.

I agree this would be what I imagine when I think of the 2 wheeled equivalent of a hot rod.

Agreed, although I am not American, and I’ve never even seen or sat in a hot-rod, the entire idea makes sense!

I’m sure as cars and bikes become more sterile (traction control, abs, emission and sound regulations etc etc) demand for older machines with uprated everything is just going to continue to rise every year.
