Welcome to bikes they'll never build...

Welcome to an alternate universe where Honda
is reliving the glory days of the early '80's.

Here are some revolutionary Sabre/Magna designs dredged
up from the depths of Tim Cameron's subconcious.
"I get bored working, and like to play 'what if'.
Here's a coupla pics of what I think Honda
would build *IF* they had a clue...."
-Tim Cameron

The above design of the Sabre is a bike that Honda could build to nail the "Naked Bike/Streetfighter" scene.
With very little bodywork, the bike takes various cues and features from the Fireblade and VFR 800, including the side mounted radiators, this time mounted at the rear.
It should work, there's plenty of airflow there, boosted with a fan or two and thy're more protected than up front.
The powerplant should be a 1000cc V-four (natch). Upside-downies up front and a stout frame look up to the job.

Let's bore that puppie out to to 1200 for a start. Chrome everything- including the solid rear wheel. Include a little fairing and a nice, comfy seat. Keep the upside down forks and keep it light.
