40 years ago I rode one of these. It certainly wasn't the first bike I'd ridden and I never owned one but it gave me an itch for the exotic that only the Rocket properly scratched 36 years later.
30 years ago I had one of these - same colour (yes, it's brown) but 4 into 1.

Nearly bought a 750 4 off one of the Renegades 30 odd years ago .. till I spotted the T120 engine numbers stamped on it 
same blokes still running around The Cross with the Russian mafia down there I've been told.
Although I've never owned a Jap bike I'd be happy to have an older one nowadays .. funny how your tastes change hey.

This was the first new bike i ever owned 1974 Suzuki 750 same as in the picture. I have to say it was the most dependable and durable bike i owned. It would take a licken and keep on ticken.. I used to change the oil once every two years,
i liked that little oil window on the side.

2 engine rebuilds and finally a 125cc head I was able to get 120kmiles out of the old girl...I saddled up one of these and never looked back...
red line was 16500rpm's when I had her dialed in could get 80mph on a flat straight away...
and still got a respectable 65mpg...
I am going to look for one and put it back to the way I had mine back in the day

40 years ago I wasn't even a glimpse in my daddy's eye. I was more of a protein strand in a long line of edible foods that eventually turned into a singular sperm 10 years later.
