Is it bad that I like this?

Link to original page on YouTube.

Shiny!!

I'm sure it's not half the bike it was, performance wise, but I think it looks nice.

As soon as I saw the bike and he started talking I wanted to reach through the screen and strangle him. Is that bad?

Man, the bikes in Akira were way cooler than this junk! I see a lot of these around here, and when they go on group rides they literally just go up and down the highway.

Mostly because it wouldn't be able to handle most of the in town roads in the UK with it's lack of turning ability.

Doesn't the normal clutch "spin?" It's more like a clear engine case/clutch cover.

My god that looks terrible...you hit the brakes hard enough and your face will be impaled.

I like a slightly lengthened swing arm, but that's just way too much. There's too much "bling" in my opinion too.

I don't mind the "bling" so much (not really my taste... but don't mind it for other's rides) it's the automobile tire that he has on the back that looses all my interest. Those are fine for cruisers or choppers... but don't belong on a sportbike

Correction, the only bike they should ever be on is a track-only drag bike. I don't think ANY street bike should ever have them..... period.

I would understand if they actually dragged the bike at a drag strip. Thumbs up if that's what they're doing.

Yeah that makes perfect sense. But these blinged out bikes are lucky to come out any other day of the week besides bike nights.

I agree with you, akima. It isn't my thing but if that is how a person wants to spend their money, then I'm not going to judge them for it, no matter how much I may think it is a waste of money.

I kind of like stretched bikes. Just not 600s or 1000s.

I'd rock this thing.



or this one



It'd be perfect for the lack of turns that we have out here in the midwest.
