Wickedly retro - I want one.

#1 Post by Viking » Mon Apr 14, 2008 11:57 pm

A modified CB750F2 that looks like a classic '70s Honda racer.

I want one!

Babelfish translates the page to say:

"Half cowl specification of CB750cafe trico color.This specification car itself price XXYEN the full cowl the equipmentsticking is possible with 1,690,000 options.The upper cowl center middle cowl front fender side cover & seat cowlthe paint is processed with FRP make.Option is only the plating cover of the funnel wind, but regrettablethis part presently there is no manufacturer stock.The color ring is , but HONDA of seventies red and blue have beenreproduced with desire of the customer.(Color tone of the feeling which awakens somewhat is) the consequence,you can feel the air impression of seventies more strongly.Because the color ring order is possible, please consult."
It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.

Totally agree about the Cyber man thing (dya think Honda got the Cibber name from that? :smt002 ), but apart from the dodgy front look I like it. Not so keen on th ebug eyed oldie though.

Saw the one Okamoto posted at the Tokyo show last year. Absolutely stunning. Pictures just don't do it justice.

Like the retro jobbie but prefer the new take on it.

Poor mug it has, it looks about to weep when it caught a view in the mirror.
