With this project coming to a successful close, we’ll have to turn our attention to something else. Not to worry, though; John Reeves is an adventurous guy, and we’re sure another literbike will be along for us to experiment with before too long.
While peak torque is down slightly from stock and the modified CBR makes a bit less power near the original peak, the modified bike carries on for almost six more horsepower than stock. Some of that is due to the Akrapovic exhaust, and some due to the Bazzaz Performance Z-Bomb, which removes the CBR’s top-end restriction by tricking the ECU into thinking the throttle is not fully opened.
