I took the CB to Ekquire motorcycles this morning to see what the bike was pushing, it was also to see how well the engine was as I had only ever started it and not riden it more than a few metres. Well I needn't have worried, after the first run it was 51.3bhp @10450rpm at the rear wheel and with a constant torque of around 23lbs from 3000rpm - 10000rpm. The rules say the bike must not be more than 52bhp but with my figures being so close its hardly worth attempting to get anymore. I have my first ride on the CB on Monday evening at Snetterton, just to set the bike up and see if the fork air gap and amount of oil are correct, will let you know how I get on.
