Stitched seat? No

Not right keen on the gold (nobody mention 90 model KX500 forks cos I think I've got away with it) cos I think it looks...well... Y'know.
All in all I'm not realy a CBX fan but that looks like an improvement

That's how i like to see older bikes modernised, just update cycle parts so to speak. Ideally i'd have black forks and wheels and no stitching on the seat, but I'd love to have a CBX even if it was in Mr Blobby colours!

Tough Crowd !

I like the gold wheels, seats a bit meh and would maybe have black engine bars (or take them off for the photoshoot.
A good six into one is a glorious sound but a six into two would proably look better?

LIke others i like the idea but not not the engine bars or seat. i dont mind the gold wheels but i really dont like the headlight. Dont know why but its just a generic LED round light on so many bikes and IMO spoils the finished look

I think the headlight is off the latest CB1000R, so its got "Honda" across the middle?
