Well heck!!!!I guess it really is going retro. I owned many a bike with tubes and spoke wheels in the past but they were cheap $1000 or less old ujms. Given the choice I gotta say it would be hard not to look at the suzuki gsxs1000, FZ-10, even the bandit 1250 for a more modern feel. Darn, spokes were the mark of a budget street bike back in the day, cast wheels meant deluxe.
I get that the cb's mission is to be a retro experience down to the spokes which is pretty cool ..but..... What would make me interested in spending cash is a freddie spencer replica with the 80's F model body work using a spiced up cb1100 engine with some top end to it. While I'm hallucinating lets add some serious suspension, 17 wheels, modern tubless sticky ickies, hellified brakes, room for two and what the heck abs. If they could get the power up to the 1983 cb1100f levels I would consider it at 12k.
