My baby.

An '81 CB900FB, sort of.
It left Hondas factory in 80 as a 750FA. Someone put 900FB barrels and head on it, along with the oil cooler, air assisted front forks and rest of that front end on it and twin pot brake callipers all round.

It just passed the MOT again, with a few minor adjustments.
It's still pretty rapid, but as you'd expect of an 80s Honda, it doesn't corner as well as a modern bike.

Is this the face of concern ? >>> https://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c007.gif

Old skoowl pimp bike Cool

Try a dropping the yokes down the forks an inch and a narrower front tire. I've done it to a few old bikes and its made such a difference to the handling that its transformed the bike.

It was called 'Eurostyle'.
No idea why.
