This is my RACE CPX100 version of end 1980/ beginning 1981 with some lightweight stuff it made the heavy CPX100 a lot lighter, 11,83kg is not bad for a hi-tention steel bike. Numberplate is the second plate after racing a couple of races with a WOODEN #plate! Bike inspection stickers are still in the back, all bikes needed to be inspected before the races and was a nightmare! Cutting off handlebars/axles/brakebolts/chainguards etc was necessary to pass the test but we were losing weight that way so every race the bike went lighter.
