Honda trotted out this concept bike in ‘07 as a styling exercise, and it oozes with the retro flair and minimalist purpose of yesteryear’s superbikes.  But c’mon, is this horrid robo-face really the best Honda can do?  Between this and the new Yamaha R1 bugeyes, I’m beginning to think that projector beam headlights are the worst thing to happen in modern motorcycle design.

Honda is rumored to be producing the naked version of its concept bike, the CB1100F, as a 2010 model.   Thankfully they haven’t found a way to screw up a round headlight.  Yet.
