Something cool for thoughs that rode motocycles in the '60s

I just saw this and thought it was cool. My old friend Denny Berg is at it again. He took a 2010 Honda Shadow RS750 and turned it into a '60s CL77. Anyone that started riding in the 60's or early 70's probably had one of these. I rode the wheels of of one. This is just to cool.

For toughs that do not know what a CL77 was here is a photo of one

Looks to be a pretty solid modernization of the bike. Only problem is the exhaust is on the wrong side

... and the engine is a v-twin instead of a parallel twin. No disrespect intended though; I'm just being picky.

This is a cool concept and it looks like a very good execution.

No argument here, it's a cool bike. I was just playing 'spot the difference'

It's like the new Camaro or Challenger. Old but new

Many of us who rode in the 60's had 90CC bikes - a 700+ was almost unheard-of.

The Honda 305 Scrambler was the hottest bike around where I lived.
