This cute, sarcastic joke of a comment implies that the bike is wide.
While it does look wide, by moving the alternator and ignition from the ends of the crankshaft to a jackshaft behind the cylinders – a practice that is now common but began with the revolutionary CBX design, the overall width of the CBX is no more than other bikes.
Hard to find stats on the width, but one site lists the engine alone as 585mm wide … almost double the frame width of an R1, and certainly a whole lot more than either of my bikes
While I appreciate you love your ride, you need to grow a sense of humour
Okay, perhaps I should have said ‘the overall width… is no more than other bikes of the period’. Comparing it to an R1 is ridiculous – incidentally, your R-1 has its accessories mounted on a jackshaft, too, as was first done on the CBX.
I have quite a sense of humor, I just haven’t found anything you said funny. At least, not yet.
