Bimota HB1 Honda Reproduction and cool CB750 site 'Cling on for Dear Life'







Motocicli Veloci create wonderful repros of the world's greatest bike (i.e. the HB1 - world's best non European 'European' bike, if you know what I mean... maybe world's best 70's bike is easier to say ?) Whatever - the KB2 & SB3's are cool too, but the HB1 is still the best Bimota ever made. Let me know your better suggestions for Japan engined European superbikes (Elgi anyone?).

A cool owner/fan driven site - always the best - crankin' his CB750 onto the road soon !
