Honda has the technology to make your next
superbike lighter, stronger, faster. The future is now.

The 1983 Honda CX650T fulfills the promise
last year's Turbos couldn't keep. Honda has come a long way toward defeating
limp off-boost power and turbo lag, making the 650T a splendid Grand Touring
bike that thrives on back roads as well as on highways.

The Gold Wing gets some refinements, misses
others.

What it lacks in excitement is made up for by
excellence.

Here's the Honda version of The Look That
Made Milwaukee Famous. If you think the styling of the VT750C Shadow is radical,
Brother, you don't know the half of it.

Of course, the James M16 is a
bread-and-butter job, the sort of bike usually seen propped against railway
signal boxes out in the wilds; it doesn't pretend to be anything super. But
there's always room for a reliable little utility machine at the right price.
Cheapest British-built motor cycle on the market, the James costs £123—and what
could be righter than that?

Welcome aboard the Orient Express, the
gentleman's Z-1.

The Big Silver Streak—a classy mixture of
time-proven Z-1 underpinnings outfitted in stylish new cafe trappings that are

Honda followed its successful CB-350 with the
CB-360; Kawasaki followed it with the KZ 400. Kawasaki's imitation is better
than Honda's.

What looks like a Z-1, is nearly as fast as a Z-1, handles better than a Z-1 and costs a bunch less?

Saturday nights you can see them. Profiling
at the drive-ins. Taching up at redlights on the strip. Cruising past bars.
Customized motorcycles are the heavy-hitters on the cruisin'-for-burgers
circuit. Choppers, fat-bobs, LTDs, Specials, candy-apple streamlined babies.
Whatever their handles, the heavily-styled customs turn heads and command
attention.

Oh, that reassuring rumpety-rump of a solid
