The good thing there was that no CB750's were hurt in the making.  That thing may have too much power to have no front brakes.
Generally they did a good job, the swingarm could of been longer. I think they could have put all the other sensors on with front brakes, but as usual not enough time before show.
I'll stick to the real CB750.

The CB750 engine  has a beautiful design that fits a chopper build really well.
Triumph twins look good too as well as Harley and SS twins.
The sound is a big part of it.

Custom bikes are so cool( Of course some customs are just the opposite of cool) and sound is also part of it that cool. :)
Wonder if electric bikes are going to be forced upon us? You known the electric vehicles that can be turned of remotely. >:(

A CB750 must be classified as a hybrid. It has an electrical starter ;D
