It might be ugly but has won a shed load of awards all over Europe. You need to see it in the flesh to see the fine detail. Have seen the owner putting in some fast laps at Mallory Park circuit too! So it handles!!

Re: Streetfighter CBX
I was wondering the rideability and geometry. Pics that chain looks slack... And the seat.... Ouch!

It's definitely ugly duckling but the engineering and craftsmanship behind it is amazing! It's unique!
I'm wondering about that clutch slave cylinder, it's sleek

Re: Streetfighter CBX
Takes a skilled artisan/builder to build something people can appreciate even if they dont like. The only beef I have with design is the straight pipe exhausts. Never ever seen a set aside from a full on drag race vehicles where I think looks/sounds/performs well. And those cases only cause they run full throttle or none.cbxmel wrote:Larry Houghton builds bikes for a living so they have to be good or better
