My first bike was a '72 CL450, just like this one:




Then, I got a '73 CB750, in brown, like this one:




My third bike was an '82 CB750SC aka the Nighthawk:




I had added a Vetter Rooster, like the one below, to the '82:




The pic above is another Rooster on my '96 Nighthawk 750 which
I since turned into a sport-tourer with a Vetter Windjammer 5
and K&G Engineering luggage/backrest, all from the early '80s:




I still have that Nighthawk, as well as my '01 ST1100:




So, the answer to the question is Honda and Honda.

Thanx! I'd post more pics, but can't drop them here.

I had a 2002 Honda ST1100, same color. Sold it a bought a 2022 Vanderhall Venice. Wish we would have kept the ST1100, as it was great on the WI Driftless road. But, for two of us riding, it was getting a little top heavy, or is that because of the age. Not the bike's, but my age.
Still have a 1986 Honda Gold Wing Interceptor, which has a much lower center of gravity.
And, a fun little 1986 Honda VF500F Interceptor that only gets taken out about twice per year for a short ride.

If riding only by myself, I liked the ST1100 the best of all bikes that I have ridden through the years. And, when I was a Service Manager at Mankato Honda, for cycles, autos and power equipment I was able to ride many different models and brands. The CBX 6 cyl was fun, but not fun enough to ride on any trips. That was about as crazy as the Honda 350 4cyl that Denise bought used. Nice lady's bike, until I put a 400 kit into it with a Hooker Header and then needed HD clutch springs. Could not hold the front end down and it would beat Honda 750's and Kawa 750 2 strokes.

I had a 82 CBX that I rode 8k a year on trips.  My concern was always brakes and of course tires.  Rock tied to a rope would have been better braking!  The coolest thing was no matter where we rode it drew a crowd when I stopped.

I know what you mean by drawing a crowd. Whenever riding a CBX, especially in town, no other cycle would even think about trying to convince you to race them. They had no idea what it was when they met a cycle that had cylinders hanging way out of both sides. It should have been called, "The Scary Beast".
