Hitoshi Ikeda - Early CB750 design ideas article
« on: April 05, 2011, 04:13:20 PM »
The Garage Company is coming out with a book describing early Honda design from 1957-1984.  Very interesting preview about the cb750 from the designers point of view.  His inspiration and overall vision for the bike is mentioned and translated from Japanese.  Book is due to come out in August.
