What is strange is that Honda had a better bike to use as a basis for a tribute, one that was already well down the retro path; the CB1100EX. They, themselves, even call it a Modern Classic. I wonder if the bike's picture I posted was a bored intern's Photoshop doodle.

I think that you could be right about the photoshop. Honda can do a far better job of "Retro" than that. A friend of mine has just bought one of these, which, again was a tribute to the original 750. The NC36 was only produced in 1998. They certainly hold their money too.
