Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2010 CR&S VUN Depowered Road—a stunning example of Italian craftsmanship that sits comfortably in the naked bike category. This motorcycle, from the renowned CR&S brand, is a celebration of minimalist design and performance-oriented engineering, embodying the spirit of cafe racers and superbikes. With its sleek lines, lightweight frame, and an attention to detail that only a boutique manufacturer can deliver, the VUN is not just a bike; it’s a statement. This model is tailored for riders who appreciate the raw, unfiltered experience of motorcycling, offering a unique blend of style and substance that distinguishes it in an increasingly crowded market. At the heart of the VUN Depowered Road lies a robust 652cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, producing 29 HP and 37 Nm of torque. This powerplant is not just about numbers; it delivers a punchy performance that comes alive in urban environments and winding roads alike. The liquid-cooled engine is matched to a 5-speed gearbox, offering smooth shifts and allowing riders to exploit the full potential of the bike's power band. With a bore and stroke of 100 x 83 mm, the engine is designed for responsiveness, providing a thrilling ride even at lower RPMs. The integration of a sophisticated fuel system featuring twin injectors and a twin-spark ignition ensures that the VUN delivers not just power, but also efficiency and reliability, making it a versatile companion for both spirited rides and daily commutes. The VUN’s chassis is as impressive as its engine, constructed from a combination of steel tubes and machined light alloy plates that provide a perfect balance of strength and lightweight agility. The front suspension features a tele-hydraulic fork with a generous 120 mm travel, allowing for confident handling and responsiveness over various terrains. Coupled with a rear oscillating swingarm and a single shock absorber with 128 mm rear travel, the VUN delivers a plush ride quality that absorbs bumps with ease. Safety is paramount, with powerful braking systems featuring a 320 mm front disc with a four-piston radial caliper and a 220 mm rear disc with a floating caliper, ensuring reliable stopping power in all conditions. **
