    That bike looks dorky even without the rider... Can't get my head around the different headlights... The rest of the bike's not really special looking...

    S'pose i could live with it,although it's not my cup of tea,but you're pretty well fucked if you decide to buy a different bike. IE:black street triple

    PS,i've got a real hangup on those uneven headlights.Looks fucking wierd.
    Anyone else think this?

    Otherwise its a good looking bike.

    That suit is actually quite nice. The helmet is a bit over the top. Straight white or black with black visor would be a better match.

    Love the bike... maybe in 5 years I'll be able to afford one

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Yamaha are supposed to be bringing out a Rossi paintjob R1. That might look cool but a Rossi replica suit as well might all be a bit much.

    A Rossi helmet though would be in the best of taste of course

    Meanwhile back on topic; you could likely buy a small bike for what a full set of BMW leathers and helmet would cost.

    Is the rider wearing a monocle?
