“A lot of superbikes are fast, but this thing’s got a lot of soul, it’s got a lot of character.” That’s how Jay Leno describes the beautifully-built Honda CR750 replica that he pilots in the most recent episode of Jay Leno’s Garage.
This bike looked familiar to me, but I couldn’t remember where I had seen it. Early in the video, Jay mentions that he saw it at the Hansen Dam Britbike Rally a few months ago, and that’s when it clicked for me: I was at Hansen Dam myself (here’s a Picture Intermission from my day there) and I even took a photo of Jay’s bike when I noticed his helmet and jacket on a Vincent Black Prince:
When I caught up with Jay, he was…with this bike! Clearly, he liked what he saw.
This CR750 replica is the work of Vincent Scarelli, and this was his starting point:
Enjoy learning about Vincent and his CR replica!
