Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2015 CR&S VUN, a striking embodiment of the naked bike category that beautifully marries performance with aesthetic appeal. Crafted by CR&S, a brand known for its commitment to bespoke motorcycles, the VUN stands out in the crowded motorcycle market with its unique design and robust engineering. With a focus on both city commuting and spirited weekend rides, it caters to enthusiasts who seek a blend of style, agility, and exhilarating performance without the bulk of a traditional sportbike. At the heart of the VUN is its 652cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, which produces a commendable 54 horsepower at 7,000 RPM and an impressive torque of 58.9 Nm at 5,000 RPM. This powertrain, equipped with an advanced fuel injection system and twin spark technology, delivers a thrilling riding experience characterized by immediacy and responsiveness. The 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive ensure seamless acceleration, allowing the VUN to achieve a top speed of 180 km/h (111.8 mph). With a lightweight construction of just 135 kg (297.6 lbs), riders will find the handling nimble and the ride exhilarating, whether navigating through urban landscapes or carving through winding roads. The VUN doesn’t just excel in performance; it also boasts a range of impressive features and cutting-edge technology. The frame, composed of steel tubes and lightweight alloy plates, enhances both strength and agility, while the tele-hydraulic front suspension and oscillating swingarm at the rear provide a well-balanced ride with 120 mm and 128 mm of travel, respectively. Stopping power is delivered by a sophisticated braking system featuring a 320 mm front disc with a four-piston radial caliper, ensuring that riders feel confident and secure in any situation. Furthermore, the VUN is adorned with carbon fiber fairings and fiberglass components, adding a touch of sophistication and durability. **
