I wonder if the fattening of Americans has anything to do with the crazy attitude on horsepower requirements. My old Kawasaki 550 put out about 50hp and it put me in the hospital several times (OK, the last time it was the gal turning left in front of me......).
The W looks great (we have a 650 that comes to the Grotto, in green and crème, easily the prettiest bike there) and if I had to trade the CB in, the W800 would be at the top of the list of bikes to move to. I think it would be behind an Indian or Guzzi California......
My green Griso SE gets more attention than the CB, mostly because flat green is so unusual for a bike - or a car. It grabs your eye. Both are good looking, but I think the CB is prettier and the Griso is just very handsome.
Now if someone did a remake of the light green 1954 Sunbeam S7........
