Not sure any bike with a "Mode" button can be considered a retro ride :dodgy:Pterodactyl_imp said:

True Bob, but where is the line in the sand? EFI? (I loved synching carbies). Disk brakes? Even hydraulic clutches and brakes? Radial mixed compound tyres? etc. etc.
I guess if you look at a bike and it triggers the that reminds me of (here insert any model or style from a bygone era) response, it qualifies as a retro. Since I’ve owned the CB there have been many, many people approach me with a “back in the good old bad old days I owned a CB 750” greeting. So many, in fact, that I suspect that it exceeds the number ever manufactured and shipped to Oz. Even accounting for resales
. The CB, by my definition, qualifies. Cheers

I totally agree. I was just poking fun.
Hope you are well and staying away from the fires. Y'all have been in our prayers.

Nice flick. The CB1100EX looks somewhat, lonely.
