Another video, the Tank seat unit and tail light are a work of art, although no pillion pegs, rear guard, indicators or mirrors shown...

Love the clean lines, nothing fussy / lairy, competition for the Ducati Scrambler ...

Nice.

Think I'd prefer a square headlight. And it doesn't need a fancy dash.

That's really nice, clean and simple. No doubt when it makes it to the showroom with a rear mudguard, plates, rear pegs, indicators and mirrors it'll lose a bit of its clean lines but nothing that a few minutes with a couple of spanners and an ebay account wont sort.

One of the few recent concepts that I actually like the look of

I wonder what green and black stripes would look like on that Honda concept bike?

Retro bikes not normally my thing but that does look good. I hope the actual book looks similar.

It's not truly retro without twin shocks; too much space between the seat unit and the rear tyre.

Even with a single sided swingarm they could at least stick the shock on that side so that it looks ok from the left...

And twin rear shocks for aesthetics.

Surely they made millions from that realisation with the CB1300?

I once bought a Honda CB750FA - very similar to this, blue stripes on silver - but it wasn't very good so I sold it.

This looks nice but it wouldn't make me rush out and buy it.

Those of us that prefer a CB. I would be in heaven if I had an early 1970's CB550. My first bike was a brand new 1975 CB200. Jeez they are tiny

And not handling.
