WAY more money than taste!

Take a look at this - if it had been done on some huge H-D I'd be repulsed, but on an MV? (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=424&item=2487001269&rd=1)

I'd horsewhip the fool personally...

[SPman]

Holey shite!
Some people have too much spare time.

[Magua]

A brilliant bike in tatters! The fool!

[gav]

Nothing that a can of matt black paint won't fix!!

[DebK]

Kind of reminds me of a Mitsubishi Diamante that has been done like a dog here in Johnsonville. Anyone in the area seen it? Blue, big as a whale, every conceivable attachment the guy could find at Repco is stuck to it. Guy is proud as though. Great sometimes to laugh uncontrollably as loud as you like with a helmet on :D

A womans opinion on the F4 on ebay... I like the custom cover. Also like the chequered affect on the side fearing (whatever it's called). Wouldn't look so bad if that was the only thing done.

Hey Deb that misubishi in J'ville is shocking isnt it :wacko:

Own up Doug - I know it's what you've always wanted.

[matthewt]

I like the custom cover

You can buy them from MV Agusta Special Parts (www.mvagusta-sp.it) click on the union jack to get it in english. Only NZ$300 for the cover !!

Is that the one with the number plate (or is it the writing on the back where DIAMANTE used to be) that says SHARK or something.

Pity its still got a gutless 3500 in it.

You'd think he would have at least put the twin turbo out of the GTO into it.

What a ricer.

And im sure that'd be fun to drive going through the front wheels!

[Paul in NZ]

BWAHAHAHA I love it. What an idiot! (did a bloody good job though)

I particularly like... "This bike has been admired the World over and is a very Famous Bike in its own right." hee hee,,,,,

Now that said. I suppose that you cannot look at it in a NZ context. yeah, you might feel a bit daft turning up at the top of the Rimutakas on it but for Hollywood, it's actually quite restrained.

It's just the other side of the coin from people that over restore old bikes or add carbon fibre look alike self adhesive panels... The guy just went a bit father than our taste would normally allow...

Good on him. If thats what turns his crank, why not!

Ever seen those bikes covered in (basically) carpet or some furry stuff. There was an article in PB a few years back. Revolting.
Having to vacuum your bike...

GeoffYes, but imagine the crash and abrasion resistance!:killingme
I think that maybe that's were the "furry craze" started? The bike was rashed 'n trashed, so it was easier to bog it up and cover it up?

[Paul in NZ]

Nah..

When I was a kid in ChCh in the 60's there was a local loon with an Airel Square 4 covered in red crushed velvet and had stuff like a little TV fitted.

used to turn up at school fairs and the like... Never could figure it out...

[aff-man]

Man, the question is why. Sure it might look good in some really out there futureistic non real movie, but honestly. I think out of all the colours the black version is best (all carbon fibre baby). But is it just a craze with everyone(mostly in america) wanting to make thier bike look like something out of a circus act. Spend the money on engine parts and aftermarket parts if you must , but the manufacturers are doing a good job with thier designs so why ruin them. Especially if it is italian :wacko: :wacko: :nono: :nono: :crybaby:

Now, does this fall into two things A) You are jealous because he has more money? and B) You are unaccepting of other peoples taste if they differ to yours? :eek:

Dude used to live in Maungaraki. I used point and laugh every time I saw it. I think that's why he moved.

Hi Paul, you are missing the point here, this bike is someones idea of art work and as such it's pretty immpressive, hotrodders do the same to their cars, and of course the american choppers do also, these vehicles are intended to be over the top, the more outrageous the better, personally, I like to see the efforts put into these projects and the attention to detail, but noone in their right mind would go out and actually thrash the shit out of a bike like that, it's all for show. All of us like things to look nice, and some people take it to extremes.

I dont think it's even got the 3Ltr has it, It might just be the 2ltr, thats what makes it even more hilarious especially as he thinks its really cool :confused2

Aw c'mon, I was actually disappointed when I saw the bike, it's not that radical once you get past the paint'n'glitter. :whocares:
Some of you guys are too sensitive and must have lived sheltered lives!!!

Wellington Motorcycles had a Vanvan or somesuch done up with a leopard print at one stage. Not my thing, but quite neat.

hmmm...now there's a thought. what about twin turboing the 3500??

[marty]

or supercharging. now there's an idea.

[marty]

i reckon the bike is pretty cool really. would certainly stand out in the crowd
