Why would you do this to a perfectly good ZX10

I could be wrong, but after watcing the motorsport on Prime this afternoon, I would speculate that it may have been done for drag racing purposes.

The pipe on it looks a lot like the pipes they put on turbocharged Busa's.

Of course, it could be the motorcycle equivalent of those stupid bouncing cars...

He wouldn't be drag racing with that swing arm I can tell you that now!

Oh, okay, I thought it would have worked a bit like a wheelie bar, to stop the front coming up.

Maybe it is just "art" and we are all heathens who don't appreciate it :whistle:

That be a dragger orright,or at least a make-believe one.
Long arm,fat as rear rim,drag pipe and single front disc all point that direction anyway....

Swing arm too weak and fuck all braking - he has NO rear and only one front - it isn't strapped and lowered.

It is purely for pose value

So it's a ricer?

That`s friggin awful,I`d say the owner`s a total poser who rides it to impress by-standers.It`s certainly not a lot of good for anything else now it`s been butchered,bet it`s bloody evil to ride.

That's how they run 'em over there(I assume the us) it's lowered alright look at the front fork tops....and there's a rear brake(it's by the sprocket,ss arm remember).

[wkid_one]

No apparently there isn't a rear brake according to the guy who built it - and it isn't for drag racing - purely for posing on the weekends. Other front disk was removed to show the rims off.

Here are some drag bikes

Umm, because he can? :sunny:

And to be the equivalent of our white/black-windowed/big-bore exhaust/18" rimmed&low profiled shod Subarus - that have to duck around man-hole covers and handle like pigs and can't carry much in the back because of the audio junk.

It's all about indivuiduality, :rolleyes: - even if the rest of us think it looks like all the dozens of other similarly equiped Subarus :laugh:

I think it looks pretty cool, each to their own and that, why does every one have to ride the same way? Ohhh, look at those chicken strips, blah, blah, blah. No, I wouldnt do it if I had a ZX10R but so? Its called customising, isnt it?

Crickey, that sure shows a lot of individuality in those pics. While not are all to my taste(suprise-suprise) if the work was mainly done by the owners, you gotta give them the thumbs up for effort. That all chrome looking thingaminyjig would be a tad ard on the eys in the sunlight, huh?
