Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2013 CR&S VUN, a naked bike that captures the essence of Italian craftsmanship and performance. With a price tag starting at €11,850, this motorcycle stands out in the competitive landscape of lightweight, agile machines designed for both city commuting and spirited weekend rides. The CR&S brand, which stands for Cafe Racers and Superbikes, has effectively bridged the gap between classic styling and modern technology, making the VUN a compelling choice for enthusiasts who seek an authentic riding experience without compromising on innovation. At the heart of the VUN lies a robust 652cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a commendable 54 horsepower at 7,000 RPM. With a torque of 58.90 Nm available at 5,000 RPM, the VUN provides a thrilling pull that perfectly complements its lightweight design. Riders can expect a top speed of 180 km/h (111.8 mph), making it more than capable of keeping up with traffic while offering exhilarating bursts of speed when the open road beckons. The 5-speed gearbox and wet multiplate clutch provide smooth, precise shifts, enhancing the overall riding experience whether navigating urban streets or winding country lanes. The engineering prowess of the CR&S VUN is evident in its advanced features and technology, including an integrated CR and S/Walbro/Dell’Orto ignition/injection system that ensures optimal fuel delivery through twin injectors, and an impressive 52 mm throttle housing. The bike’s steel tube frame, combined with machined alloy plates, offers a blend of durability and lightweight agility. Front and rear suspensions with generous travel (120 mm front, 128 mm rear) ensure that riders can tackle various terrains with confidence. Safety is paramount, featuring powerful brakes with a 320 mm front disc and a 220 mm rear disc, providing reliable stopping power to match its performance. **
Pros
- Lightweight Construction: At just 135 kg (297.6 lbs), the VUN is nimble and easy to maneuver, ideal for urban riding and sportier outings.
- Unique Styling: The design perfectly marries classic and modern aesthetics, appealing to riders who appreciate a distinctive look.
- Strong Torque Delivery: With peak torque available at a low RPM, the VUN offers responsive and engaging acceleration, perfect for spirited riding.
Cons
- Limited Fuel Capacity: With a 12.50-liter tank, longer trips may require frequent stops for refueling, which could hinder touring capabilities.
- Single-Cylinder Vibration: The nature of a single-cylinder engine can lead to more vibration at higher speeds, which may not be suitable for all riders.
- Seat Height: While the adjustable seat height of 780 mm (30.7 inches) is friendly for many, it may pose a challenge for shorter riders.
