The Yamaha RD400 ad brought back memories of my 2nd bike.  Still a fan of the two-stroke twins of that era.  Wound mine up to what the speedometer said was 100 mph once.  Handled great, sounded tough, great for short highway trips, and the perfect around-town bike. 

Not a highway cruiser, though - threw a rod on an aborted trip to Iowa in 1988.  Got as far west as Madison, holed a piston, and milked it back to Milwaukee on one cylinder, but seized it up before I got completely home.  I still miss it.

Thanks for the link, JH!

This is a great link. I've dealt with Reproduction Decals in the past, they are an excellent resource when restoring vintage Japanese bikes. They will also work with you to create what you need if its not in their current line up.
