    Reddit? I am scared to google it.


    I'm impressed with the utter simplicity of this modern Honda CB1100 retro job.

    Ignoring the shit tyres and reduced suspension it is what Honda could and should have produced when designing the CB. It should and could have been Hondas 'Bonneville"

    A 'Merican fad - slam the suspension for looks. I don't think they have corners. Or bumps.

    I am waiting for the prices to come down to the point where I can have a crack at one.

    I reckon another five years at crapsblots and I will pick up that one with the ponyskin seat for money I am prepared to pay. Its the peasant pack 5speed one too.

    Its a drag bike. You're on it for nine seconds at a time. Suck them in like you do when you're cross dressing.

    Your first post on KB was lauding the CX500 as some sort of pinnacle of cool and design. Therefore, you have no clue. Sit down, shut up, and let the grownups talk, son, you might learn something.

    harsh - but fair....

    Looks a lot like the leccy bike that ran at Lake Gardiner. Stopped partway down the course and some local wit remarked - "cord's too short"

    Should one assume the big hole in the frame is usually filled with batteries ?

    Not stock. Stock it's hideous. But strip it down, remove the fluff and you got yourself the Mona Lisa of engineering right there.

    What you got here looks like one of those electric bicycles (that's not a complement), not a motorbike (and yes I realize it's an electric motorbike). It's not cool. I mean it's cool someone made it, but it's not 'cool'.
    And I'm young and hip, so I think my word on what's cool or not is a little more valid than an old man trying to pass a toaster off as a motorbike.

    I'm with this guy. "Coolest custom motorcycle I've seen this year"? I'd love to see the ones you thought were uncool.

    But still, a CX500 stripped down is like Rossane Barr in a bikini. Sweating.

    Husi no doubt has a link for that sort of thing but I think I'll turn off the Internet if that gets posted. Yes the whole Internet. It will be. . . Inconvenient.
