I recognized the engine immediately, since i happen to have a late model Nighthawk 750. The right side crankcase cover is a dead giveaway. What threw me was the kickstarter. After seeing some of the still pics I can see that Hollywood has worked their magic again. The kickstart lever is a fake. It's positioned at a point on the frame where there would be nothing behind it.

Overall, it's a pretty cool frankenbike. Thinking I might ditch my OEM Honda luggage rack for a nifty crossbow holder. Big Grin
Just wait until they offer a kit for the CB1100. Big Grin

Sort of like all those smart phones on TV that ring like 1990s Nokias?
I like how his new bike looks great.
something like you can build from extra parts.
His old bike, which was a Triumph, also sounded like a Harley. At least it was a twin, but I hate it when they do cheesy sound effects for bikes.
they could make some coin selling those exhausts. never seen a nicer looking exhaust for an I4.Purposeful yet MotGp ish at the same time. of course it would have to lose the wrap, be gleaming chrome and the end cup would have to be refined.
Very cool looking.
