I can see some retro inspired tips mostly related to high quality materials they used to make motorcycles out of that have been abandoned for plastic. I see how it pays homage to honda's history but i find it a thoroughly modern standard motorcycle. I hope more bikes look to the past for inspiration on how to design bikes of today because new design isn't always better design.
Um.. While I totally understand this view.. The bike is absolutely a retrospective design..
It "looks" like it was built in 1980.. They built the CB1000 which was a modern bike with clear classic design cues, but this CB is built to look like a classic CB from the ground up. Hence retro..
cheers..
