Then again if I had the coin I'd own a few oldies.

The true retro experience is probably why the likes of the 'new' Bonnie sells so well - the look without any associated issues.

Do you think a new proper homage to the CB750 would sell well - cradle frame, twin shock etc etc - shit even SOHC,. Classic colours and all. And a Brembo on the front disk please.
To answer your question - Yes I do reckon it'd sell.

I'm a classic target demographic for such bikes as the modern day Bonnie. I want the look and feel (Some of it at any rate) with modern rideability and convenience. I'd love a late T160 Trident but I simply don't have the Time/Patience/Expertise to go through with it. It'd be nice to look at though...
