Retro Cool

[Joe Bar]

Didn't know where to put this one, but hadn't seen them before and thought they were worth posting. Like these updates of old themes. Pity the manufacturers can't come up with something similar sometimes. Don't think we should look back all the time, but as they say style never goes out of fashion.

Done by an Italian (suppose they had to be really), Oberdan Bezzi, there's more of his work here -

They look great.

I saw a posting on Advrider showing a Retro Suzuki - something along the lines of the Kawasaki 250. Be nice if we could get them over here

Joe,

They're a montage from some large images I've had on my computer for about 5 years, can't remember where I found them. Guido Brasletti on the bevel 900SS is my all time fave

I'll see if I can find the link, and post it.

You're not keen then Prof

Can't find the exact images on the web now, and I seem to have mislaid the CB750 , but I've uploaded the Duc, Commando and H2 here -

These models were all part of a "collection moto Joe Bar Team" magazine, which cameout about 3 years ago in installment parts with ring binders, model and the bike articles. Almost all of the models on ebay have been stripped out and sold as stand alone items. The prices seem to vary wildly, but the original magazine installments were 13.50 Euro's.

No, surprise to hear I've got a few of the models myself
