WE'RE AT the Tokyo Motor Show and arguably one of the most achingly beautiful machines on display at this year's event isn't destined for UK shores.
Honda's retro-cool CB1100 isn't earmarked for UK buyers, a company source told us at the show.
The machine's retro styling hides a multitude of modern-day technology: a hi-tech air-cooled engine, coupled with decent brakes and suspension that has shunted the 1980s-styled machine into the 21st century.
Sadly, it look as as though we won't be reliving our youth; well at least not in the company of this beauty.
How sad.
Come on Honda: get a grip!
