"No front brake"
Back in my day that caliper bracket would not pass inspection.
Needs some kind of foot peg rubber, wad of tape.

I’m throwing this in here, because I know Honda loves to do this: throw out a cool concept, get hopes up, then bring another ugly scooter out that they think is the future of motorcycling.

I had a Honda 750F in 1983, I would love to see them make this...

ooohh! thatz super sano!

as a certified OG, I really appreciated the retro CB1100 homage to SOHC CB750,
tho the overall size & weight were too much (had mixed feelings about price)

that said, THIS really floats my boat, looks many pounds lighter & so lithe -
other than the wunnerful Tri Speed Twin, this new Honda is the only retro that could get me to open my wallet, itz like a designer’s sketch brought to life

Looks like a modern CB700SC. Me like.

Corb posted some pics of the AC Sanctuary collection previously, but I really like this one:

ICON gussied up a new Katana...

I like their tail section better than Suzuki’s, but I do like it overall....

This...but they can lose the winglets from the fairing, though.
Frankly, I never liked the styling of any of the Katanas despite even having owned one.
Even the ground braking original that people seem to drool over leaves me luke warm and I am one huge Suzuki apologist.

That U shaped Katana seat might make for great photo ops but looks unbearable for the real world.

Man I like that Katana. It screams Top Gun x Akira or Robotech. I also liked what Icon did with the other one. So possibly I just like the look

What is that brass doodad on the right fork above the axle?

I'm going to assume this bike runs & rides, daym

The original RD 200 front suspension was somewhat basic, so Pedro and Filipe have installed forks from the Portuguese brand Tabor. That company is best known for its bicycle saddles today, but in the 70s and 80s, focused on aftermarket motorcycle suspension.
