I saw this bike featured in the latest issue of Practical Sportbikes. This is a nice modernization of an already cool bike.

what's the point of increasing unsprung weight and putting a front end from an 180mph superbike on a bike that won't do much over 115 ?Last edited by squirrelman; 11-08-2021, 04:28 PM."It's only getting worse."

I think they did a great job on the styling, it is seamless. It is a great build, one of the nicest I’ve seen on that model.
That said, I am always a bit disappointed at such thorough builds that don’t feature a corresponding performance upgrade. I get to the engine spec and all it says is it’s got pods and “is basically stock”. Makes my semi wilt back down like a flower on a frosty morning.👍 1Comment

I'm guessing that front end is probably lighter than the stock CB1 or at the very least about the same given it has an extra rotor and caliper. And it gives you full adjustability.👍 1Comment
