Anyone seen this before?
Laverda Dave:
Ray gun silencers on the Kawasaki, I wonder which bike those were first used on as a styling exercise.....
K2-K6:
Did someone mention xs650 Yam?

I like the style!
K2-K6:
It was an era of fabulously exhaust pipes though. Honda did the right thing by going four separate route, I think it made that 750 really special and defined the whole period.

Says it all really.
Tomb:
Raygun silencers, not my idea of style but someones no doubt.
Talking of copying, Massimo Laverda openly credited the Honda CB72/77 as the inspiration behind the SFC engines.
K2-K6:
The Laverda looks like they've just scaled up with one of those parallelogram drawing frames :)
Just realised that Honda 750 picture earlier also appears in this magazine below

Same side panels, carbs and also has a steering damper plus that straight orientation of the front brake master cylinder. Dated January 1969 it must of been photographed sometime around end of November 1968. Perhaps an early example to show and clinic to trade prior to production timeline, earlier than Brighton type example?
