I came across this one on a US Zed forum.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
I've no idea if this is real or not, but apparently a pre-fireblade CBR750RR Superbike prototype...

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
The more I look at it, the more it looks like a potatoshop. I'm 80% sure its a fake.

I asked my mate in Honda R&D (yeah I really have a mate who works for Honda R&D in Germany).
He says..."someone trying to "visualise" the original concept"

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
If it were a prototype it wouldn't look anywhere near as finished. Prototypes look like proper lash ups.
Styling exercise maybe...but doesn't seem likely?

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
They do, everyone does. You just don't see them in public.
They look like proper shit heaps cause they're only ever intended to be seen and used internally.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Ok, not as interesting as some, but an 'is it cos I is black' edition of the CB1000R
https://www.honda.co.uk/motorcycles/ran ... 4348820022
Although I reckon it should be called the CB1000$$
It's blacker than Asian Boss. Black forks, black exhaust, black paint, it's even powered by a quantum singularity.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Nice but swingarm is a bit long and I'm not keen on the USD forks, I prefer Ian Feeley's bike
