Freddie Spencer replica CB1100

[RetroSeattle_imp]

Cycle World is doing a Ride For Kids promotion and put together this groovy Spencer Replica using the CB1100 as a starting point. American Honda donated the donor bike. Cool stuff!

What is that blue thing mounted where the oil cooler usually goes?

Looses like a hose coupling.

 

[Lord Popgun]

Yeah, OK. That makes sense after looking more closely.

I don't know why they moved the oil cooler. Freddie Spencers 1979 Honda racer had an oil cooler where ours is.

Edit: Ahh he had another larger cooler up under the number plate

I saw this at the motorcycle show here in Seattle last fall. Perhaps I'm just not a racing fan but my first thought was "wtf... they ruined a beautiful CB1100". Not to my taste but I hope they raise a lot of money for the charity.

I dig it, love to own it

Well, my CB is painted "Spencer blue" so that will have to do

Weird that I saw this thread. About 2 hours ago, said hi to Freddie at a local Honda dealer here in Shreveport, which is his hometown. He looked fit as a fiddle, the years have been kind to him. Lots of folks know him here.

He appeared to be visiting, was driving what appeared to be a rent car with texas tags.

Had a very nice looking woman with him.
