The Japanese company Harold’s Gear used to produce some of the best retro motorcycle gloves you could find anywhere, sadly the state of both the global and Japanese economy have been tough on the small firm and they recently went out of business.
With the happy news that the modern Honda CB1100 will be heading to American shores in 2013 we thought it pertinent to feature this motorcycle, a Honda CB1100R concept bike that was first shown to the public all the way back in October 2007 at the Tokyo Motor Show.

The humble Yamaha XS400 isn’t a bike that we see getting converted into cafe racer form all that often, it seems a shame as the bike has serious potential.
