I asked this exact question a couple months back about my Supreme but
didn't get a lot of info back. I don't really remember them that
much from "back in the day." I was given this one for some work I
did and it's quite the nice ride. In the last couple months I've
seen a few more in town so there must have been a dealer here, but no
one remembers. I've also seen a couple on ebay with low miles go for
low prices. Studying mine in comparison to the thousands of bikes
I've worked on I give it a nice big thumbs up overall. The ride
quality is excellent and craftsmanship is quite good. Like most
people during that time all you heard about was Italian, Italian,
Italian. . . .maybe a little British and maybe French. The general
opinion was Japanese stuff was just a bunch of mass produced junk.
I'm trying to amend that indoctrination in myself and finding others
who as willing to learn.
