Yes, the XS650 Special was victim of that fashion for a few years.
First thing I did was remove the Clown Bars and put a fairly narrow set of road bars on to it. Transformed its road manners, and got much more out of the work the PO (one of whom had spent a lot of money on the improvements) had done on the suspension. Apart from the 16" rear wheel, it's almost like a standard bike now.
They all built them, for a few years. I had a Kawasaki 550 LTD, with the seat like a giant slug and handlebars that you hands couldn’t hold because the cool design didn’t fit humans. However, with some better bars fitted it was a hell of a comfy and hippy little bike.
Then the style moved into Power Rangers ‘crotch rockets’ and, er, we never looked back.......
I just watched the film.
Fifteen+ years ago I dismissed it as 60's hippyshit twaddle.
Today I agreed with that.
A cultural heathen?
I watched the film for the first time last night.
It's joined the Rocky Horror Show & Clockwork Orange on my list of films I didn't get.

Two guys do a drug deal, buy a chopper each, head off to get stoned and travel America. Then get killed by a hillbilly.
What’s not to like, the American dream.
