I am drawn to the act of transplanting MotoGP-derived wings onto a production naked bike. I loved motorcycles before I understood them — and back then, the hero's machine in every comic sprouted some impossible appendage. MotoTrofa actually built one in carbon and painted it forest green. This is the shop that won in 2020 with a CB650R called Fénix.

What did you think?

Voting closes 31 August, which is tight. Usually by the time you hear about these it's already over.

MotoTrofa already won in 2020 with a CB650R called Fénix. This is a shop with a track record.

Honestly not sure how much those MotoGP-style front wings actually do on the road.

It's about form, not function. Demand only utility from a custom build and the whole thing gets dull.

Using a CB750 Hornet as the base is a tasteful choice — not reaching for something flashier.

If the carbon bodywork and shortened tail actually cut weight, that should show up in fuel economy too.
