HONDA TO SHOW NEW RETRO-TWIN?
Old is still in, at least in Japan. The enthusiast magazine Auto-bi recently printed sketchy information and a drawing of what it claims is the upcoming Honda Roadstar, due for Japanese release in late summer. This, apparently, will be powered by a liquid-cooled 400cc V-Twin, a down-sized version of the Shadow 600's powerplant. Styling is decidedly British, with spoked wheels, chromed headlight bucket and broad, flat seat. Projected price is $6500. American Honda officials claimed no knowledge of the Roadstar.
