HONDA CB900F RESTOMOD

[Skub]

I'll readily admit to not particularly liking Hondas and I never thought much of this 750/900 cam chain munching model,but they've made this one very presentable.

Looks ok, but I can't forget the horrors that lurk beneath the cam cover. Buy one, become an expert in helicoiling.

Cheesy will be a long any minute to tell you how he'd buy the Honda concept CB1000 if they ever put it into production.

[Bigyin]

That flows quite well with a nice finished off look and all the colour co-ordinated modern parts add to the final result

[Yorick]

I liked my red CB900

[Yorick]

Why 750 side panels ?

[Bustaspoke]

I think that the USD forks are wrong on a build of that nature.
Apart from that it looks alright,but I wouldn't want to ride it,or own it

[DefTrap]

I like Hondas.

But not really this one. It's not a very special engine, noisy and rattly. And they've taken some very flattering photos, the stock rear-end is pretty hideous in the flesh, so wide that it makes that housebick of a taillight look small.

The addition of more more modern running gear just makes it look worse. Lipstick on a pig.

I could, but if I wanted one that much I could make my own, it's just a bodywork change.

As for this one, it looks nice apart from the upside down front end

Very tidy. Little odd that they went for a 750 decal after having gone to the effort of replicating the body panels in carbon fibre.

You'd think it was a no brainer, the XSR's and Kawasaki RS' seem popular and there can't be much R&D to do.



And a CGI version of what it would look like with proper road kit on it...

I loved mine, but when I see these, I just see kilos and extra lard.

[KungFooBob]

Google reckons the original 80's CB900F had a fuelled weight of 220kg.

The CB1000R which that concept bike is based on is 212kg.

That looks nice for a modern retro.

Sleeper?

... the stock rear-end is pretty hideous in the flesh, so wide that it makes that housebick of a taillight look small.

But it was the fashion of the time...

As it happens, I rather dislike the current fad for tiny rear lights on pointy rear ends. I actually quite like being seen from behind

Cheaper insurance? So you can win at the traffic light gp? Or possibly because freddies one had them on
