We’ve covered all the bases this week?from a 1980s Honda CB to a rendering of the new Aprilia Tuareg 660 adventure bike. Plus a pair of Aermacchis from J. Shia, a rare 1930s V-twin from a Russian museum, and a look at BMW’s new R18 tourers.

Honda CB Superbike by dB Customs Darren Begg is clearly a busy man. The ink had hardly dried on our feature of his Suzuki XR69 replica, when he bombarded our inbox with this drool-worthy homage to the 1982 Honda CB750-F.
Darren’s forte is old school superbikes, and the CB750 ranks among his favorites?so this track-specific client build got the star treatment. And although it resembles the ’82 CB750, it’s actually been pieced together from other bikes in true dB Customs fashion.
The chassis started out as a heavily modified 1982 CB900F frame, matched to a chromoly steering neck from Vince & Hyde Racing, welded in place by CMR Racing Products Inc. The subframe is a custom chromoly unit that mimics the geometry of the 80s superbike, with replica shock mounts from JES BUILT Motorcycles. A Suzuki TL1000R swingarm completes the setup?but it took some fettling to fit.

Suspension is by way of Öhlins rear shocks and Honda VTR1000F forks, with AHM replica triple clamps. The wheels are from Dymag?they’re a new billet aluminum version of their classic CH3 series carbon wheels, and were the first set to roll off the line. AP Racing calipers, Brembo front rotors and braided lines are used for the brakes...
