There was no possibility of a "rebirth" of the Bol d'Or, even from the official Japanese lips.
Remember CB-F Bol d'Or? What had we seen? That's over. Retro-futuristic prototype that recalled the CB 900F of yesteryear had raised many hopes for a modern bike like Freddie Spencer's.
According to foreign publications, however, the concept was wrecked at a press conference for the presentation of a special edition of the CB 1300. The first CB 1300 was designed by Tesuo Ban, not some random person.
This concept generated a lot of hype, so it's a shame. This is certainly not the first or the last time a concept has an exclusively exhibition character.
