So..I figured I'd just send an email to the artist about the discrepancies discussed above. What do you know, but he replied. Here's what he said on the subject:
Hi Matt, Thanks for contacting me.
Things got a bit confused in the editing of the video and I credit you for your attention to details. The sculpture will be featured in an upcoming Print issue of Motorcycle Magazine which will clarify things further for enthusiasts like yourself.
I honestly don’t know a lot about motorcycles and didn’t make a huge effort toward accuracy despite the amount of detail. The real life motorcycle my sculpture is based on was a 1972CB500 Four like the photo I attached. The one I created ended up being a combination of 1970’s Honda motorcycle parts that I could find “ready made” 3D models of online and those I drew from original Honda press photos like the one attached. [Jonathan sent the exact picture of the 500 that Cormanus just posted] It would be more accurate to label mine a generic early 70’s CB or perhaps a customized CB500.
Thanks,
Jonathan
