While I plan to purchase an RX3 later this year, I do have an eye on the cafe bike from CSC as well. The low top speed is a little worrying though. I lived with a TW200, which had a 70mph top speed on flat level ground, and it was pretty terrible for commuting on the highway. It'd do 70mph on backroads pretty easily, but on the highway there's so much head wind that it struggled to maintain 65. So it was great for surface streets, but because of the speed limitation it wasn't a good all-around bike.

I'm wondering what performance modifications are available for the engine in this cafe bike. Does it take well to a porting and polish? High compression piston? Intake and exhaust changes? I'm guessing nothing short of a turbocharger is going to get it to 80mph, but one can dream...
