That looks great, shame is probably going to be quite expensive.

**Swoop** · 11th July 2008, 11:12

Very nice!

That reg/rec is going to keep nice and cool in that spot!

see a few bikes cutting into this market now.
Suzuki Hemisphere?
Yamaha VMAX
Yamaha MT0S / MT01

So when are we seeing the new Suzuki GS1000 Homologation?
Or Moriwaki ZRX1000 Special?

Also here there is a rumor of a new XS1000

My thoughts exactly! I'm especially partial to the red frame for some reason, which is unlike my usual taste. But this one just seem to scream PPHWOAARR!!

I reckon that's a primo looking bike!

Dont think I can get my head around the double shocka, love my single swingarm too much

I'm not supposed comment in a thread like this and say I'm not that enamoured with it? There are plenty of retro bikes around - just look at our roads these days. They're getting dragged out of sheds and cleaned up for use again.
If you are creating a new bike then why try and make it look old? Sorry, just an opposing view I suppose.

I'm with you here Col, I can't say I like it, looks very much like the retro CB 1300, it'd be really nice if Honda could bring out something new and interesting looking rather than just rehash and put some flashy colours on something old looking. Then again I think the CB1300 retro looks better in the flesh than in photos, so this may too, but I still wouldn't buy one... JMHO.

When I was a young boy, I used to enjoy watching my old man racing his wire-wheeler Katana against the CB1100R's around Pukekohe, so I guess it's a bit of nostalgia for me.

Its been around for a while - but no further presentations from Honda mean it probably wont be made...

I love it though.... I'd be seriously tempted to get one.
