Nominate for Bike of the Month January 2018
« on: December 01, 2017, 09:39:54 PM »
OMG! It's a new month and a new YEAR.  I know there are a couple of bikes out there that were just waiting for the turn of the month to nominate.  Let's see them!

There are a bunch of great builds that completed right after nominations for the last BOTM.

Of course I will accept. The CB750A does get near enough recognition. This bike was a milestone for Honda at the time and was a wonderful piece of engineering, kind of like the 75 Goldwing or the 79 CBX six cylinder. Those people at Honda knew there stuff, they are like little geniuses.
