      Haha hey I told my wife I'm just restoring the GS to save money, because when this GS gets moving I can sell the Ducati. I paid only $150 more for the whole GS than the valve adjustment and timing belt replacement on the Multi cost me.

        Or at least offer an SLE model ( Signed Larry Edition ).

        Edit: I like the bike. However, as someone who has owned many 900 and 1100F's, I remember telling myself that I would buy that retro 1100F that came out...I didn't as it did not impress when I went to look at one. I will add that this one is a bit more true to it's tribute mark.

          Did I miss the retro 1100F, or is that what I thought was a retro CB1100. That one must have impressed very few, left-overs everywhere for yrs.

            That's the one, it was available in red or black. Early on it was touted as a Retro F.

              Retro F, dang that was as far off as the retro Camaro. Neither one even close.

                I think what happened early on was that people heard " Retro " and " 1100 " and put the two together and started the " F " chatter. It is much more reminiscent of the 750 of the 70's, which I believe was Honda's intent.

                  Seems like Honda might be taking another stab at the retro market.
                  Looks good except of course for the exhaust, hopefully they won't mute the engine this time.

                      I won't say I'll immediately run out to buy one, but it's by far, way, way, much better than that retro CB1100 they had (or have). Just my opinion.

                        I like the look of the Honda. Rear end low, single sided swing arm is not period correct but looks good, muffler looks more "normal". How about a CBX!?
