WHITEHOUSE Customs The CB 750

Just looking at the above pic makes you want the bike. Of course that it has the legendary CB 750 engine makes it that more tempting. This is the customization done by WHITEHOUSE Japan.
I first noticed the bike in the THE NEW CAFE (RACER) blog and really was lovestruck by the designs. Well I didnt visit the mother site, but again when I saw the pics in MOTORCYCLE SPECS, I knew I had to see the website. The above pic is in the index page of the website. As all the text was in Japanese, all I could do was use google text converter. Well, nothing much came out from it.
According to internet sources here, Whitehouse was inspired by the designing of one Mr. Jim Goose, who has designed the Cafe Racers (for the Biker Gang) in the MAD MAX movies.
Whitehouse Customs seems doesnt work on only CB 750 but also probably on Harley Davidson. Probably because there are some custom made HDs featured in the website, but whether they actually customize them, I am not certain.
The CB750 Tricolour
These specialized CB 750 Hondas has carbon fibre cowl with 2 models featuring full and half cowls. Lots of chrome gives a unique 80s sports look. While I couldnt specify anything on the engine, why dont we just gratify our visual senses with the stunning models!
