The GB750 could be the perfect bike the challenge the gorgeous Kawasaki Z650RS as well as the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650
2022 was special for Honda as it revived two historic monikers, the XL750 Transalp and the CB750 Hornet, introducing them in a modern avatar, both based on a new 750cc parallel-twin powerplant.
But now, the Japanese brand could be looking to add a retro twist to the versatile platform. According to a Japanese publication, the brand intends to introduce what could be called the GB750, a 750cc retro bike. Feast your eyes on the render of the GB750.
It looks properly retro with a round headlight, console, mirrors as well as fork gaiters. The sleek cylindrical LED indicators, ribbed seat and upswept exhaust though, make us feel like we are looking at a Honda CB350RS, albeit with a parallel twin heart. Are wecomplaining? Absolutely not! The RS is a good looking bike and with a larger engine it does sound promising.
All things said, even if such a bike is in the pipeline, it’ll be some time before it’s actually launched. But the thought of it is definitely exciting considering the middleweight retro segment is witnessing a boom, and a 750cc Honda retro bike will definitely sell like hot cakes! The gorgeous Kawasaki Z650RS and the hugely popular (and affordable) Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 will then get a worthy rival.
