I would respectfully suggest there is only so far Honda can turn the clock back because ( if memory serves) a lot of the early 70's jap stuff was two stroke, had drum brakes, single overhead cams, very skinny forks and hinged frames. No-one really wants any of that back in a modern machine (do they?) but if you do then I suppose you have to buy a genuine 45year old machine and either restore it yourself or get one thats already done. I read somewhere that sometimes things just dont go well together and never look quite right and the example given was fitting a ZXR750 front end with upside down forks onto an original Z900 and personally I have to agree. It clashes. Anyhow you are probably right the latest CB is pitched towards the late 70's but i feel its very authentic and thats cool with me.
