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.

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.
