My maths teacher had one. Always thought it looked impressive sitting in the carpark.
Agree about needing wire wheels.

CB1100's a horrible bike.  My neighbour has one.
Odd size skinny wheels, gutless engine, small fuel tank.
The latest version is better but still nothing special.

Dressing one up like a CB750 does nothing for me.

Anyone with the nuts to modify a K2 CB  deserves Kudos for me, made a nice job of that one, as you guy's say, spoked wheels and you would have to look very close to know the difference. :onya:

100 yards away the twin cam motor stands out as being wrong for that age / style of Honda.

Not with my eye sight it won't :doh:  Only meaning to say the mods are nice, it's not a restoration, but each to their own. Any way, lets not waste time debating Honda's, I'm away out to do some miles on the proper K2 ............. :drool:
