Damn - work of art!

Very nice attention to the details and that is a huge weight savings!

The dry weight is very impressive for a fully legal street bike with a starter.

If I remember correctly, the AMA Superbike minimum weight limit at the time was 410 pounds, I could be wrong, I can't seem to find it at the moment, and have hit my head a few times since then. Very Happy

After Captain telling me their race bike weighs 372lbs wet, this hardly seems like an accomplishment lol

The cost for getting it down to 372#s is undoubtedly higher than the level of investment so far.

Gorgeous bike Darren, and as always, the photography is also excellent.

Amazing Darren... !!!

Really nice workmanship Smile

I was fortunate to see your original Evolution bike (think on the ride Seb hosted) and look forward to seeing this creation in a few weeks.

Peace
Vince

Not exact. The red is a little richer and the black is from a Masseratti

Small video of the bike before it heads off to my customer in NY.

Can't figure out how to embed the video here Rolling Eyes

Looks even nicer in the video and sounds sick! Can't wait to see it next week. When the new owner isn't looking, I'm going to grab it and disappear. Cool

Agreed, I think some of us should be able to take her for a test drive up US100 just to see if it rides as good as it looks!!

Darren, any idea where the max. torque and hp fall on the tach.? That thing sounds like it could screem up to 12K rpm.

CR.

lovely: looking at your vid. I can see the bike ( for me ) is generally sitting better - got a more integrated look - took a while for the obvious bit that's been changed ( again IMO giving a nice improvement ) - its the seat !

and if I was a really pedantic picky bugger - there's one thing I would scrounge the earth to find, a CB1100RC / D RH alternator - cover - something this nice deserves it

I agree, but wasn't willing to give up any .... Very Happy
