The CB1100F and CB1100R concepts are fabulous - subject to pricing, I'd be happy to order whichever one they announce first:

Nice post DJ

Intersting word Tesseract....If you google it you get a mathmatical/geometry definition of the cube within a cube (roughly)

But in the classic sci fi book I read with my kids years ago...A wrinkle in time.... it was to time travel....

I want a bike I can time travel on....
hmmm where would you go first....???

I agree it is an interesting word..and maybe cube also means four ..and chosen because it has four wheels.

I can't see you traveling on a bike like that..but if the concept kicks off you never know what the future might bring.

As for where would 'I' go...Maybe my own land first (I've only seen a small part of it)..then Hawaii and the US...Eroupe and Asia don't really interest me.

8) 8) 8)

I could totally hijack this thread into a sc-fi discussion on time traveling bikes....ha ha ha

The Tesseract looks like a transformer to me....maybe the wheels can become legs and it can walk over gullies and streams....maybe it can hover?

oh there I go with the futurama sci-fi again.

I can't see myself on such a contraption, but I should not knock it till I try it.

It seems I would need some kind of wild groovy riding gear that has not been invented yet....like maybe some kind of air filled acrylic bubble suit and a titanium helmet.

DJ....You need to take the time you need to go see your land , man!
we love your ride reports and also You're getting up there in age now....

Heh heh...

When you get there, I hear Metzlers are the way to go, DJ.

FWIW, I like that retro Honda CB1100R....not my kinda bike, but I like the look.
