There's some great looking 80's bikes.

I reckon they should do a CBX750 version.

I agree. But the CB750 is a 70's bike, and most of them are pretty visually challenged. That fairing may have been the subject of umpteen man hours development to make it look of its era, but unfortunately the styling of most 70s bikes was shit, as is that fairing.

I thought the Bol was early 80's?

Dunno about the Bol, but the CB750 was definitely 70s.

I have no problem with the styling of Naked 70s bikes, there are some very good looking examples. But when it came to styling fairings, it took the Japanese until the mid-80s to start getting it right.

The fork seals on the nearest bike are shot to ribbons... I suspect that most of those fairings are aftermarket jobs. The factory-fitted ones tended to resemble barn doors. I lived through that era as a 20-something and remember being non-plussed by the styling efforts of the factories when it came to fairings.

You weren't a fan of Rickman's Polaris then

Same place, different bike, twice as hard.

Proportions of that Honda CB thing are all wrong - I thought for an instant that the base bike was a Grom, fitted with a normal size fairing.

The extras from Mad Max get ready to ride out to the set.

It's actually a still from the film.

Chinese MV?

Local ye olde bike shoppe (who are also an MV franchised dealer) just posted this on Friendface...
"Now this is interesting — the QJ Motor SRK 921, finished in a stunning white and red colour scheme, comes equipped with an inline-four engine derived from MV Agusta.
Coming in at just over £8,999 +OTR, this bike could be a real game changer in its class"

Nice that.

Well now,this is a first for me....

'Square' silencer, so that might be an original K100 ...

Another new one to me. Plenty fun to be had on this I reckon. There's a adventure version aswel.

95cv(ps) from a 700cc four pot bike isn't up to Jap standards. My 1999 R6 made 95bhp at the back wheel on the dyno 25 years ago.

3 pot. Good by modern standards
