Better yet, you could build them all in an engine simulator and see that they make the same hp/torque curve relationship we see between 600/1000 I4's and 1000 twins. And then toss in a 6 just because you can....

There's a 900 and 750 of the same head design as the cbx, But I'm not sure if there's a 1000.....

Apples and Oranges love...

I like how you guys forgot completely that Harley purchased Cagiva and then announced major US plant layoffs in Milwaukee.

Or how Cagiva is in no way prepared or able to produce bikes in volume for import at a profitable margin regardless of ownership

Oh, and I like GSXRs and Buells...Aprilias not so much...I feel they are overrated.

It's a little low on power compared to newer bikes, But it still has plenty to have fun on the street. It's also the only stock streetbike I've seen with a picture of the rider dragging his elbow on a flat surface.

I don't remember what Honda used on the CBX.
