This is from the "Do the Ton" forums.

In case you were wondering, the GTA has a really outstanding custom cafe builder, Rob Chappelle. He didn't do the CBX, but he did recently do a nice CB900:

I can't imagine trying to jet and sync six carbs, but I'd love to hear that 6 with those 6 to two pipes.
They guy bored it out to 1425 and got 165hp. Nuts.

That CB900 is beautiful.. and it'd be even nicer with a black frame and swingarm. *drool*

Check out his website. He's got a good eye for neat cable/hose routing and frame lines. Everything laid out to appreciate and still functional. Nice.

Not bad. I loved it a first glance but the more I look at it the more I see things I don't like. The way the seat/tail section meet the tank looks bad (square meets point), Put some red brembo's on the front to match the red of the shock spring (or go matching Ohlins fork/shock), etc.

It's a custom, so the customer specified it.

Here's another:

When he's not doing this, he's an instructor at Durham College and he runs a small media company. He does the bikes with his brother, who lives in LA.

This is sooo much better than that raked-out Easter Egg hard tail custom crap that polluted motorcycling for the last ten years. Thankfully, these guys have gone bankrupt.

That's just sexy. F1 sound for under $20,000.
OP bike is pretty hot too.

It's probably well over $20 000 if you could find one, but an RC 166 is the real deal. Six pistons, six pipes, seven speeds. Must have been a purely bonkers bike.
