#5 doesn't turn me on. I like what Violator's done with their custom V-Rods though:
#3 - NOT, rather reminds me of a whale
#4 - VERY HOT, that looks sweet, probably wouldn't corner very well, but would be a cool second bike
#5 - not bad, cool for a chooper though

#4 is butt ugly
#5 is nice. Would be a nice 2nd bike for me to jsut cruise around to posing spots every once in a while

CB1100R
Tugging at the nostalgic heartstrings of many riders will be the new CB1100R. Taking its retro styling cues from the original racebike design, the Tokyo concept CB sports a tubular steel frame, dual shocks, inverted fork and radial mount brakes. In this concept the air-cooled Inline-Four motor appears to serve as a stressed member of the frame, with a braced aluminum-looking swingarm and classic dual piggyback shocks. Check out the five-spoke gold wheels. That is vintage Honda cool.
The air-cooled motor will likely be based on the historic CB mills of the past with a hint of performance squeezed out to make sure there's something worthy behind the old-school appearance. It should have a widespread appeal among vintage Honda CB loyalists, so no doubt the Japanese marque would sell a couple handfuls if the price was right.
This bike has the potential to become a cult icon in a short period of time. Honda has proven they are willing to produce functional retro-racers when they unveiled the Dream 50R back in 2005. They've also sold the retro-looking CB1300 Super Four and Bol D'Or in Europe. Given the success of retro bikes offered up from Triumph and Ducati, why shouldn't the world's biggest motorcycle manufacturer get a piece of the nouveau-vintage pie?
If you're interested in how the original CB1100R ran, check out our Memorable Motorcycles article, which records our vintage correspondent, Frank Melling, racing the Historic Endurance Racing Team Honda CB1100R at the "Bikers' Classic" festival in Spa Francorchamps in Belgium.

NOT!!!!!!! Needs a snarking V4 to bring back some needed Honda attitude.
