I remember being in Jamaica, and seeing kids with hand made CBR stickers on their bicycles.

I nominate the Ducati Apollo for this thread.

there is a twenty-thirty year cycle before something can be called retro. moto guzzi is currently making retro cool versions of their bikes from the 80s. unfortunately their bikes from the 80s looked like crap. so we are seeing recycled crap style.
