Honda is planning to recreate one of the greatest motorcycles it ever made, in the form of a new Honda CB750.
Having seen the success of other retro bikes like Triumph’s Bonneville, insiders say Honda has decided to make a modern recreation of the original 1969 Honda CB750, virtually identical in every way to the original.
According to sources in Japan, Honda has developed a new air-cooled engine to give the motorcycle the right retro looks and yet to pass the latest emissions laws. It’s likely Honda will show the motorcycle as a prototype at this October’s Tokyo Motor Show.
Unbelievable - I love it when Honda do stuff "just because we can", like VTEC variable valves (in cars only please), 4WS on the Prelude, the entire S2000 project, or the CBX-1000. I wonder how much ROI they'll get on a new air-cooled 750 - let's hope they put it in the new VFR as well ...
Thinking about old Hondas reminded me of this pic I meant to post after my holiday.
I saw this bike in the street in a small town near La Rochelle, France - it looks like a CBX1000 engine in a newer bike, but I've no idea what it is - but it's cool!
Yeah, that's a CBX motor alright. I should know, I owned an '82 - the pearl white one with the sport fairing and bags - for a bunch of years. Great bike, awesome engine. Wish I would've kept it. Friend of mine has 5 or 6 CBX's in his garage.
