Damn. Got my hopes up, then I read the article. Just an artist's concept. :'(

The article in the op led me to this concept:

Seeing that paint scheme again gives me chills. Interesting that Ducati, Triumph, etc. have based all their retros off of 60's or early 70's bikes, and Honda goes for their 80's bike. Why not a retro '69 CB750four?
