How could a county that produced such sweet motorcyles 30 years ago have fallen this far this fast....

Yeah, they should remake the cbs, vintage style but with modern technology, like triumph etc. did.  The japs dont offer too many standard bikes today that I really want that bad.  Just lots of crotch rockets and Harley knock-offs.  screw that.  I really like the new Royal Enfields.

CBjunkie...youre a funny dude! ;D  Like the avatar.

Wow! That is just plain lame. And it does show where we have fallen in a desparate attempt for humor and entertainment.

I saw an ad for new CB750s, does anyone know about these. It said, you can have a 'brand new' CB 750? can't remember where I saw it. I assume they take an old bike and rebuild it with new, modern components?

No, this is some dude in SF if I remember right who will build you a new CB750 from the huge store of NOS parts he has. Try searching this forum, there was a whole thread about him...

Man, I can't understand why you complain about it. The american TV has created monsters like "American Gladiators", or Wrestling. The rest of the world simply followed track.

Nothing wrong with it. The only problem is that the Bolshoi ballet have less choreography...
