I think that 1100R needs some decent sized wheels and a proper engine.  Maybe a different rear to set it apart.

the bike even runs off of the ethanol it produces.  stuff tastes horrible.

He had a jug of it sitting on the side car to sample and would say "Hey! leave some for the ride home"
slow and steady does nothing.

I know nothing about the first bike so if anyone does please let me know. The other two in the second picture are from Japan (yes, they are Japanese bikes, duh) and seem typical of the popular style there. I like it.

They're about halfway down under "cb750 cafe racers". Tons of other cool stuff as well.

I love Japanese style; so much better than someone trying to make their CB into a Trump/Nort clone and/or bobber. ;D

Great taste spikey! I posted the last pic too so I'm in good company. I like that first one; have any more shots of it?

As for the link and photo below, I just didn't know where else to post it. Figure it part of the collective SOHC/4 history and maybe an 'inspiration' to think outside the box. Geez I hate that phrase. :-[

Nice! Very clean the both of them. I'd like a better look at the headlight of the gray one.

Those bikes were actually built by high school kids in a biker buildoff competition for people with taste.

That grey cafe' is quite possibly one of the most inspirational bikes to me.  Everything about it is perfect.. and if I ever find a little two-cyl. You can be sure I will be copying it almost exactly.  Perfection!!

Thanks man! That sincerely is an inspirational project. The headlight appears to be from an auto but I missed from what car. Nicely done! Those kids deserve to be proud.

Someone has said these pipes were Swarbrick, which I thought also.

I contacted Swarbrick and they claim the double curved megga's are for twin cylinder bikes only...
Hmmm...
So I'm not sure what to make of these pipes.
Very sexy though!

Must be two sets put together.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.
