Older style sport bikes

I'm really liking some of the older style sport bike looks from the early 90's. Well, more specific the font end/fairing (head light area).

1990 ZXR 250 looks great. So does the '90 CBR250 and the '93 CBR900.

You guys know of any other bikes/brands/models that look similar to this?

Do you mind if the headlights are parallel? Haha. If not get a Ducati 999.

I love 90's bikes because they do what bikes should do, the artwork screams over the top, the engines scream, they have no frills and were the pinacle of technology and looked as such.

They remind me of looking at the walkman for the first time, you think to yourself "woah, is this thing for real? It looks so high tech and crazy! AND I can listen to my music wherever?!" You rarely see such modern inovation, nowdays things are the same as they used to be but 5% lighter and with 1.5x more graphics power and a higher resolution, the iPhone, the iPhone 3 the iphone 4 the iphone 5... Gee I wonder where we'll be in a few years time....

Bikes have gone to a stage of refinement rather than inovation, I want something cool and new to come along, the last bike to do this for me was the Ducati 916.

OP: Get some blue headlight mesh and some tint. Install. Cut two holes. Profit!
