This Z1 sticks to the formula. It’s more visually subdued than most of the builds from the Japanese workshop, but we like it that way. Every part has been stripped back to the metal and either upgraded, replaced or refinished.
If you’re used to riding modern bikes, older variants often disappoint—as anyone who has ridden the old and new Katanas will realize. But we’re betting this Z1 can hold its own with any sporty modern roadster, and will probably hold its value better too. [AC Sanctuary RCM-507]
Jody started with a brand new Bobber Black and installed Thornton’s wide wheel conversion kit—which includes custom triple clamps, a new number plate mount and new light mounts.
The CB1000R styling is too plasticky for our tastes, but it looks like Honda has got the ‘neo retro’ look sorted with this rendition. It’s said to be inspired by the CB900F of four decades ago, and it’s clean without being bland.
The squared-off styling was probably the main culprit, since it didn’t appeal to fans of the curvy CB750 or those looking for something more contemporary.
