To be fair, bike looked pretty decent in the studio shots. Notice the exhaust was not sent with the bike.
This comes from csm.nl the parts shop probebly the owner send it to Japan .

It clearly has enhanced performance improvements, yet still has connection to its roots.
I think thats very nice, but for £25,000 I would want the bottom of that fairing finished a lot better than it is……………you’d think given the skill levels they have that would have been addressed.
Steve
£25k plus the bike I think, but it would make you stand out in the crowd so worth every penny!!!!!Nat
The bottom of that fairing is the only negative comment I’ve heard about the bike, however your not the first person to point it out.Trev
I haven’t got either £25,000 or a donor bike so pretty irrelevant.
Otherwise its very nice, although I prefer the replacement 1100R Honda teased us with back in 2005 I think.
I even e-mailed honds and said please build it, I will buy one.I really really want one………………

Am I the only person in the world who thought the concept bike was horrendous ?,for me the Sanctuary wins hands down,the rearsets and swinging arm are pure engineering genius,as for the issue with the lower fairing,why would you cover up those downpipes,ok something could have been done along the lower edge of the fairing maybe,but the only thing that lets it down for me are the indicators,only my opinion of course and some would say given recent events my judgement is flawed
No. I agree on the concept bike Paul. Appeals to some, not so much to others, just like all new bikes produced today. But it is, or rather would be if it were to be produced, just a new aircooled machine painted in the original R’s colours. No relationship to our Rs in any way apart from the Honda name on the tank. The Sanctuary bike’s connection and lineage on the other hand is clear as day and again, just like our originals were when new, out of the reach of most due to price.
I too think the concept bike was horrible, the sanctuary bike is the best thing i have ever seen, its pure art.
I agree about the bottom bit of the top fairing though, for some reason they have left the bottom bit on ,that has the dzus fasteners on,but they are now redundant.
But nothing that cant be sorted with a jig saw !Hahaha, yes I am down south. The weather is better here and we get to ride more. Each to their own. £25 K is way too much for that bike and I hear everything said about the original 1100 R being a bit special, it was in its day designed with a specific task in mind without compromise.
Of the original 1100R whats left on the sanctuary bike ? Bodywork , frame , tank………thats about it. To all intents an purposes its no longer an 1100R , it just looks like one. Thats the key for me. My own personal opinion is doing that to a rare bike is a no no.
The concept bike will be a better all round bike, every component will be better and lets be fair a 1100R is woefully slow by todays standards. Lets not even start discussing brakes. I am an average rider and even I can pretty much ride an 1100R flat out……….part of that is because its comparatively slow to todays bikes and part of it is because its such a sweet handling bike and a testament of how Honda got it right back in the 80’s. I know its not an exact comparison, I also have a CB1300……..I just like the look of it. However its dynamically better than a 1100R in almost every respect and of course owning one is hastle free.
Also, and it may be an age thing, I cannot think of a single bike available today new that i like the look of. They all look like they have been designed by some power ranger . Again just my humble opinion. I guess thats why many of us like older bikes.
I know it wont be an out and out ” special ” but I do hope honda make it because I would buy one….as long as its not £25k.
That sanctuary bike is very pretty though………..The guys have started to work their magic.
