Submission by Pablo from Three Stone Cycles, an amateur builder from Spain: The donor is a 2006 Honda CB600 Hornet. We were looking for a clean and straight line but without neglecting the original sporty character of this bike. It was completely dismantled, the engine and the chassis were repainted.
