A throwback to the bike that set the trend for Japanese bikes (the CB750), here's the new CB1100.

Not much more details other than these pics, although there will be some degree of customization available (see the red bike with black exhausts).

Hate to say it, but it looks retro in a good way. I couldn't think of a better way to describe it.

How original...

I am getting really fed up with retro.

I'm more annoyed at the American carmakers than Honda. They pull retro on us pretty much every time they make a "new" car. Last time Honda did retro was with the S2000, and look how nice that came out.

S2000 isn't retro. Cars like the Mini, New Beetle or 500 are retro. Pony cars aside, US cars aren't that retro either.

It's a stretch- S500, S600 and S800. We've had this conversation before.

Some representatives of american retro beside pony cars really take it to the top of ugly: PT Cruiser, HHR, Firebird

The S2000 wasn't retro, it was the continuation of a line. The 350Z isn't retro, it's also a continuation of a line. BMW 3 series aren't retro, they're the continuation of a line.


The PT cruiser was an attempt at retro. It was bad because it wasn't wonderful looking and the car itself was pretty crap. The newest thunderbird was a retro styling that didn't work great because there wasn't a market for it and it didn't create its own because it was sort of a boat.

The 2000 or so mustang was retro styling that was successful.
