I like your take on the bike Guth. Honda engineers went out of their way to "build" old tech into a bike. Where most manufacturers embrace the latest and greatest (Honda included) on just about everything made now it is refreshing to "feel" what seems to be a time machine. Air cooling is a must for me, I love the carbs on my Triumph, never had a mono shock or gear indicator for that matter...don't want it. Don't want ride modes, ABS, ride by wire. You can keep it all. I'm very much looking forward to finishing my RD 350 for another blast of low tech. To me these are bikes. Even with the FI on the CB it still feels (and looks) like a bike should in my opinion. The Janus Phoenix 250 in the "other bike" thread has piqued my interest as well (dang it).
We all ride what we want and we all want different things but I for one am a less is more kinda guy. The CB, in all of it's modern trimmings, still scratches that itch for me. And, like you Guth, am very happy they made this time machine the way they did.
