Given apparent sales of the CB1100 I'm not sure why Honda would roll out another retro machine. It's a dilemma for manufacturers of any kind, I guess. There are those of us who hanker for the looks of the past, while being grateful for updated fuelling, brakes, handling and the like, but many more, I suspect, want to take on more of the benefits of developments in technology. I don't know for sure, but I suspect all that plastic, water cooling, electronics and the produces a better and possibly safer machine that simply has a wider appeal. Sad? Maybe, but inevitable.
