If you’re into vintage vibes, you know we’re all about that Japanese scene. But let’s get real: the Honda CB750 is the crown jewel. Straight out of the factory, these inline 4’s were already beasts, and you bet riders were customizing them right off the showroom floor. Back in the ’70s, the chopper culture was buzzing with Japanese bikes; folks were snapping them up brand new just to transform them into one-of-a-kind rides.
Sometimes it feels like Harley-Davidson gets all the attention when it comes time to vintage choppers.
Sure, we know that there are legions of fans out there that love Harley-Davidson choppers, and an entire subculture exists to support the iconic American brand, but they weren't the only ones out there. When choppers came on the scene in the late 1960s, due in no small part to the iconic film Easy Rider, everyone from bankers to tradesmen wanted in on the action.
