I wonder what Japanese multi cylinder bike that is in the background?

Kawasaki Mach III would be my first guess given the stripe on the tank and the front fender.

Not sure I can tell. I am guessing a Suzuki triple or possibly a Kawasaki. Thanks

Am I ever glad that jacked-up-in-the-rear look back in the day fell from favor. I hated it back then and still do. I like a gentle nose-down rake as much as the next guy, but those rear tires shouldn't be stuck out inches past the quarters with half a foot of space in the fenders.

Nowadays, at least in my local area, it's rig rocket pickups with fat, low-profile tires protruding several inches from the wheelwells that irks the crap out of me. I can't understand why people think that looks good.

Also tires that get lost in rear wheel wells. Like someone had 30" slicks then put on 26" street tires.

True, the jacked-up look is just as bad (to my eyes) as the bone-stock muscle-car look, with anorexic-looking 7" pinwheels and skinny tires on the rear...has that sunken-in look like someone with no teeth does when they're not wearing their dentures.

This is way worse than the tires out the sides

 

[Coelacanth]

Can't disagree with that.
