Just wondering about "retro"
#3
It looks good but I also would not call it retro. Aside from the rounded tank, gauges, headlight it looks pretty modern to me too.

I believe some even consider the Yamaha XSR900 a "retro" (I love that bike by the way) but I think the proper term for it was "Neo Retro"

The Z900RS really did look like the old ones when it came out a few years ago and i think that is the kind of power that our CBs should have been putting out.

Till this day I truly don't know why the CB1100 was Neutered from the factory when it was originally the first "sport bike" of its day. I see no reason why the CB couldn't make 100hp from the factory.

2014 CB1100, 1981 KZ440 LTD, 1993 Yamaha XJ600 Seca, 1994 Yamaha XJ600 Seca
