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]

Just curious,will those brakes get the bike to stop?

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
