Starting with a CBR250R as a donor would be the easiest way to come up with linked ABS as it is offered on this bike and works perfectly. And they are cheap. They sell for $4,500. The engine would also be the perfect choice to chase 100 mpg at 100 mph with advanced streamlining such as a lay down recumbent land speed shell. When Vetter gets his fairing finalized this might come close right off the shelf. It would certainly do 100 mpg at 100kph to surpass the challenge. Could probably tweak the cam timing and gearing to the everyday normal riding range of 120-130 mpg at 100kph Pulse and glide could be higher. 100mph is ridiculously fast.
