I am still stuck.  I can't make a choice.  Maybe I should go ask CCOErika what she thinks.

Vote for the Honda.  ;D

i'm still leaning towards the camaro.  :-\

Some fine, beautiful Hondas, guys. A lot of imagination, taste, talent, ability and effort by ALL involved. And, ALL very well done!

Sorry, but I've gotta go with Simpson. "To each his own" but it really lights my fire. [After all, isn't voting mostly a matter of personal taste?]

I'm a nut for tradition. To me this bike is simple perfection that compliments the 750's original theme. It's too nice to ride, as are the other nominations.

Striking color! Nicely detailed. And, while they are hugh, those Shoei Bags look like they "grew there". 'Wish they were not too big for a 550F - but I feel they are. The 750 has just enough more mass to carry them well.

At my age, I'll never live long enough to have a bike as nice and as well-done as ANY of the nominations. Winners All!!!

Gaither

Please don't apologize, first its all in fun, second it IS a matter of taste. You are correct that bike is awesome the rest are also.. So it really boils down to what catches your eye, and you never need to apologize for that..

But that is my .02 ยข worth..

Still at a loss.  Maybe be I should drink a few glasses of Bookers tonight, look over the pictures...just look at them, nothing else...and try to pick one to vote for.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

I wanted to vote for all FOUR!  But I finally made my vote for one.

I would have all four in my garage - if the insurance was not so expensive, lol.

I don't think I do that so I have never updated that one.  It might be mine to do, lol.

Steve has been updating that so I leave it alone.

Glenn does the one on the home page.  I know I have no access to do that one.  It seems that he does that one in bulk.

I have asked the same question, no worries.  It took a while before CCOErika's bike showed on the homepage.
