I also like looking at and sometimes buying those old Hondas. I just sold two older CBs and have been looking for a CX500 or a GL650 as my next retro ride.
However, with apologies to current and future owners, I don't think the CX class bikes are all that remembered by us oldsters, at least not as much or as fondly as the CB750/900/1100. I also recall some reviews of the CX bikes back in the day that weren't all that favorable.
I agree it's a nice photoshop, but if Honda truly was thinking about marketing a mid size retro ride, they could more easily tweak the cosmetics of their CB400 that's already on sale.
