Hey! I said no cameras in my garage please! Good thing the door to the race bike shop was locked. ....then I heard mom saying, wake up, it's time for school....
They had 4 individual barrels for the 850cc and 1000cc upgrades, but the 1100 used a 1-piece cylinder assembly. Don't know if that was a factory or aftermarket kit.
And now for something completely different. It checks all the boxes in the hey-look-at-me I'm not a cliche` category. That first picture had me wondering if anyone survived. /https://www.bikeexif.com/custom-honda-cbx-1000 :
I do like a bit of Deco, this I think is the third from Kingston customs It has a bottle of wine and corkscrew under the tank and compartment for tools and silver pickernick gear.
It is rideable, would'nt want to try to turn it round in a narrow road though. I like the fact that people build these things, it is really the art deco ones I like, some of the other out there 'art' builds do really suck.
There's a difference between a skilled designer trying something "way out," and someone who uses aesthetics as an excuse for inadequately researched engineering and poor fabrication skills.
To me, the Britten V1000 stands out for combining innovative and execution with purposeful aesthetics. Even after 25 years, it still looks fast sitting still. It ran as good as it looks, and it looks right.
Agreed. But I like it much more when I'm not trying so hard to ignore the fluorescent pink. Or matte blue exhaust pipes, for that matter.
Yeah he had an amazing ability to "think outside the box" both in defining the problem and the solution. .
