With brake contact surfaces like that, I bet it stops in...well...I bet it can eventually stop.

Proof, once again, that just because you have an idea, it doesn't mean its necessarily a good one...

Ya'll need to quit making fun of my bike.  I bought it from Randall and it'll do 140 in second gear.

Isn't that a CBX motor? Am I crazy, I though those things were made of 60% unobtainium.

Laugh if you will but those wheels are way lighter than BST's and think of the power to weight ratio. I think we may be looking at a spy shot of ducati's replacement for the monster. [beer]

Dude, those brakes couldn't stop the bike BEFORE the transplant!   [laugh]

I do like the fully-adjustable forks, though -- five, ten minutes with a pair of channellocks and you could bend 'em most any way you like.

I bet it's got decent tank range too, and looks like maybe painted-over Ohlins suspension?  heheh

Shame to see a great CBX motor going to waste though!

the burnouts resulting from the power to weight would be pretty cheap to rehoop
