| A mix of styles that don't really work. Should have gone and bought a Buell and saved a shed load of cash and not ruined a bike.........doesn't do anything for me. I can't even feel a pulse....... |

"i've riden this bike and it rides awesome... "
Thats your opinion and I'll respect that
"it is so quick...."
It would be its an R1
"it was built in one style "BOBBER""
If you say so
"with the sole purpus of eatin harleys"
You dont' need an R1 to do that
"...does it for me with it's 150bhp and a dyno run of just under
195mph..."
Again, its an R1, but I doubt it would be that comfortable in the wind blast IF you could hold on
"come and have a go if you think your man enough........."
See now thats where you let yourself down............ |

Personally a nice set of renthals would be more my cuppa
Each to their own, and at it makes a change from the usual R1 clit bike

Dreadful in my opinion. And I'd say it's a street fighter with apes. It takes more than a pair of handlebars and a few scallops to make a bobber.
And no I'm not man enough to ride an ape hangered bike at 195mph! Have fun.

not my cuppa tea but certainly it looks like a lot of time and effort has gone into creating it.

A mate of mine had a standard CB250-N, no mods. That ate harleys.
As Baz said, you don't need an R1 to do that. 
The bike looks all fancy an stuff. Nice paint job. The work that's gone into it looks like it's been done well. Good workmanship.
See me riding it? I'd rather hand over my keys and trade my bike for a 50cc scooter, ta.

Ok back peadal a bit here. Look at the style of the bike and the demigraphic of the forum. Its odds on that the "style" of the bike would not appeal to users here.
Much the same as if you posted pictures of a sports bike bedecked in bling on a forum of chop riders it would equally get slated. Thats the aesthetic things covered.
Engineering side of things is a different matter. I look at it and think I wouldn't have done it that way.
For me the rear end needs totally ripping off and something else being fabricated.
The header tank for the rad needs sorting to give a smoother line and the body work, what there is left of it, needs sorting to get rid of the "chopped off" look.
The basis is there it just needs a bit of further thought |

sorry guy's...after visiting box hill over the last 15yrs( lived and worked in epsom) i never thought of it as a dedicated sports bike site...i'll just nip out and buy another new all shining R1 and stop been silly eh!..obviosly everyone on here is a gp rider and you all buy a brand new bike every six months.....thought not....i think the "Its odds on that the "style" of the bike would not appeal to users here." is great ...i'd like to see you say that to every one who is visiting the hill on a custom over the sumer...

As said before... not my cup of tea, however it is a toiled over piece of work that someone has put time & money into... if we all liked it chances are it would be in production and therefore no different... which I guess is what the creator is looking to achieve
TP please dont get annoyed with us for saying what we think, that was the question Va Va Oops asked us when posting this up after all.
