Overview

Introducing the 2016 CR&S VUN, a naked bike that embodies the spirit of freedom and raw power, perfectly positioned for riders who crave a unique blend of style and performance. Crafted by the renowned Italian manufacturer CR&S, known for their dedication to cafe racer aesthetics and superbike performance, the VUN stands out as a testament to the brand's commitment to quality and innovation. With its striking design featuring carbon fiber and fiberglass components, this motorcycle is not just a means of transportation; it's a statement piece for the discerning rider. At the heart of the VUN is a powerful 652cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a thrilling 54 horsepower at 7,000 RPM, coupled with a robust torque of 58.90 Nm at 5,000 RPM. This combination allows the VUN to reach a top speed of 180 km/h (111.8 mph), providing an exhilarating ride that is both responsive and engaging. The bike’s 5-speed gearbox and efficient fuel injection system, featuring twin injectors and spark plugs, ensure smooth acceleration and impressive fuel efficiency. Whether navigating city streets or carving through winding roads, the VUN’s lightweight frame, weighing in at just 135 kg (297.6 lbs), enhances its agility and maneuverability, inviting riders to push their limits. The CR&S VUN is loaded with key features and advanced technology that elevate the riding experience. The bike boasts a robust steel tube frame complemented by machined light alloy plates, ensuring durability without compromising on weight. The front suspension utilizes a tele-hydraulic fork with 46mm diameter rods, offering 120mm of travel for a comfortable ride over various terrains. Coupled with high-performance braking systems—front and rear discs with opposing pistons and floating calipers—the VUN provides exceptional stopping power, making it a reliable companion on any journey. Additionally, the electric starter and adjustable seat height enhance overall convenience and comfort for riders of all sizes. **

Pros

  • Lightweight and Agile: At just 135 kg, the VUN is easy to handle, making it perfect for both urban commuting and spirited weekend rides.
  • Distinctive Design: The combination of carbon fiber and fiberglass elements gives the VUN a unique aesthetic that stands out from the crowd.
  • Powerful Engine Performance: The single-cylinder engine provides an impressive balance of power and torque, allowing for exhilarating acceleration and top-speed capabilities.

Cons

  • Limited Fuel Capacity: With a fuel tank of only 12.5 liters, longer rides may require more frequent stops for refueling.
  • Single-Cylinder Vibration: The single-cylinder engine can produce noticeable vibrations at higher RPMs, which may affect comfort on longer journeys.
  • Naked Bike Exposure: While the naked bike style is appealing, it offers less wind protection compared to fully faired models, which might not be ideal for all riders, especially at higher speeds.
