Man, that's a real messy super charger job for a motorbike :(
That is one ugly upgrade and makes a real mess of the right side of the bike. It's not meant to be a praying mantis, is it.

Now here's a tidy charger job. :) 260HP and 256NM torque.

The R1 was ment for the Tirminator movie... But they were to slow and did not make the time frame.

In my opinion, which ain't worth much, that is an ugly piece of shit that doesn't deserve to be called a bike.

I think the owner of that might say the same about your bike.

Right... How's your custom bike looking these days? If memory serves it's fairly stock other than the exhaust?

Don't be so sensitive waylander, or is it actually your new bike? :lol: People are entitled to their opinion, even if YOU don't agree with it.

That tyre is by far the stupidest looking thing I've seen on a sportsbike yet... and mine is a customized bike so I get an opinion thanks very much.

lol sensative, me? Nah I'm just stirring shit. Still though, if the builder/owner wanted a bike that looked like everyone elses he would have bought one and left it that way. Don't understand why people have to say it's a piece of shit just cause they don't like it. Not for you? Fine, don't ride it. As long as the owner likes it and it has no more than 2 wheels then it's a bike to me and good on him/her.

mean. Oddly i really like the styling. maybe they could have come up with a tidy looking belt system but i think the whole point is for it to stand out. People generally mod their bikes to shock or show. This one is a shock style. AWSOME

No, I think you're too sensitive. I never said it was a piece of shit, I said it looked like a piece of shit. And that's my opinion. Good on the guy for doing what makes him happy, and I'm sure he's secure enough about himself and his creation to not worry about what someone on the other side of the planet thinks, just like I'm not worried whether someone thinks my bike is a piece of shit.

its a showbike, so form does not follow function. I think its cool, but what do I know.

Yes... If some of you out there can do a better job,GOOD ON YOU!!!

There's no knocking the quality, and the sheer awesomeness of the build. You gotta respect that no matter what you think of the look. Just a shame that rear wheel makes it look messed up!

True. Wouldn't even work for a drag bike. Bet it does mean burnouts though.:done:

Good god that thing is fat. Sorry Imdying, that is so not my thing. Though as I said before, bet it does some mean burnouts. Wouldn't use something like that for much else. Oh and shock value while riding along the Strand here on in the Mount or down Te Rapa in Hamilton lol.

The blue one is on air ride suspension... drops to the deck when you turn it off.

But for sure... it has it's place, but I don't think that is here in NZ :lol:

Having said that, I've got a sportsbike already, and I'd like to build something a little different next time. Some people feel that a bike can't be purely be a piece of art, total form over function, I don't subscribe to that though.

I don't either. Perfection is a good ballance between form and function. Explains why I ride Yamahas.:Punk:
