it may be art,an expression of thought,

 but what a waste of a CBX motor,
or maybe its like the shiny show bikes,no internals,and gets transported in the back of a van !!

I am thinking that it is a empty engine because those wheels, frame and the side stand would never take the weight. Also no fuel tank.

But yes... the wheels don't look upto supporting it all.. and where are the brakes!

I have built a couple of these engines. I put one on a set of bathroom scales but can not remember what it came out as. I remember that we put one in the frame and two of us had trouble getting it back on the frame stands.
Lobo, it has front brakes. The cycle type that brake on the rims.

I am wondering if this is one of the clear plastic ones that Honda did for the display at the Tokyo bike show. Someone could of got hold of one and sprayed it sliver.
