I saw this beast in front of a coffee shop only now it has a fairing that looks like the front of a Viper a la Battlestar Galactica!!

CBX Insanity

Very interesting. I can't wait to hear those more knowledgeable than me discuss this. It says 12 intake manifolds and 3 carbs; I think I see the three carbs, but there are six intakes (hope he rides in clean air), and I guess each of those six intakes feeds two cylinders. A clean profile shot would be very interesting.

Very cool!

I recon you ould fry food on the seat, how the heck is the forward bank going to cool and the rear bank blowing out sraight back means the exhuast will just burn up too. I would ehpect it to melt itself in no time and the rider just before it. as an exercise in engineering it is intesting but grafting extra cylinders has been done before better, but you would have to be heat proof to want to ride it, pointless waste of two CBX engines really. Just my opinion though.

Asbestos underwear I'd imagine but then things would get pretty itchy...

Each of those Webbers has two intakes.

Boggles the mind but I did go out for a rip after I posted this and he passed me on the street going the other way. If I see him at the cafe again I'm going to stop in and talk to him.

Like all such behemoths - no use to me. On the roads I ride on I need something that handles and can nip through traffic. That thing looks like it will go like stink - but handle like a dead buffalo.

Really? We expect a full, illustrated report if you do get the chance!

looks cool, but one CBX is heavy, and thar be 2 of them.
