Honda just came out with a new CB 650. It sort of has a retro design. But it's more like what people in the 70's would imagine bikes in 2019. Honda does make a CB 1100. If it was a 750 I would be interested in it. The 1100 is just way too heavy for forest preserve riding.

The "retro" stuff has been coming back of late. Remains to be seen how sales are going to be.

Not going to bite again though. I had mine when they were the latest and greatest.

This is why I keep the poor old slow V-Max in tune ( and more) .

I had an 84 Venture with the V-Max engine...and always fast enough to get a ticket if I wanted. :roflblack:
