Interesting bikes found on the internet

Post by weeksy »

This was an exceptionally popular thread over on t'other place.

So that's first on my list for motorbike topics.

This is my first 'interesting' bike of course, but i expect better :)

It is, but it's very pretty. And would be outdone in everything else by a modern IL4 600.

Not exactly, but i was just trying to find a few things to spice up some threads and out of all of the monstrosities on there, this was 'interesting' at the very least.

The CB1100 RS 5Four.
It's an official Honda bike as well, not just a custom shop indy job.

Prefer this Honda concept CB-F based on the CB1000R

It's got a proper headlight. Most naked bikes nowadays have a stupid contraption at the front.

Vital for any naked retro (except the GSX Suzukis) :thumbsup:

It looks like one of those Husqvarna things.
Its an age thing - if you are pushing 60 thats a homage to one of the best looking bikes Honda ever built, the one Freddie Spencer started racing on etc.

For us old gits anything that looks like a CB900F, Z1100R, GPz900, LC350, GS1000, Z1, Katana etc. will always trump something that looks like a modern day 'cafe racer'
Mmmm that's open to discussion. I'm not big on that style, but i admit the Z900 is LOVELY
