    CB1000R concept/prototype - what do you think?

    Surprised it's not been talked about so much. It's a something old/something new take on their legandary ride from '81 (limited production, overseas-only, existing from '81-83).

    Personally, I love it. I like the rear suspension arrangement, the colour scheme, the fairing arrangement, and Honda is also trying to mix a little bit of cafe racer/street fighter into the pot by dropping the lower/side fairings. Tasetefully done, IMHO.

    If I had to complain then i'd pick on it having an air-cooled engine (the originals were water-cooled) and the dual headlights (originals were single). I'd like to imagine if Honda had used something a little more contemporary for the front end, something like a newer CBR/VTR/anything, they'd have "my perfect bike".

    Anyway, if anyone cares to check it out and comment then feel free.
