A Pair of Honda Modern Classics
#1

The CB1100 nicely complements my 1989 GB500. Although I hope the CB does better in the US market than the GB did! I did not include the '80 CX500 in the shot...it doesn't fit the billing...but if I ever get around to cafe-ing it I'll allow it to participate in the next photo shoot.

As much of a Brit bike enthusiast as I am, the Hondas better capture my actual motorcycling passion from the '70's when the CB750 and Kawasaki Z1 pictures adorned my wall. And they are just beautifully built and great to ride. I'm not getting this 'lack of soul/ character' thing that others claim, and I'm happy with the balance of Brit and Japanese in my stable.

Very...very, nice photo!

I wasn't the right age/demographic when the CB500 came out. But, like the CB11, I'd probably buy one in a heartbeat if they were sold today.

Thanks, Ferret. The GB only has 497 miles on it. I saved it from a life behind a velvet rope in someone's living room, and I generally put 50 or 60 miles on it each summer. I'm considering another one to actually mod and ride, but they're pretty thin on the ground and getting pricey.

Yep, pretty rare. 497 miles...wow! Cool that you rescued it.
