Not the way to treat a Desmosedici

[Marmoot]

A bit like skinning a panda for fur jacket, or whale sashimi. It works great, but you're killing a limited-availability endangered species.

Should've done it to an 1198R instead.

I like it. But could think of a million better ways to do it.
999-Turbo etc

Apparently it can be returned to factory spec with ease.

Either way, far less of a waste than some plonker who buys one and stacks it into a tree

Absolutely. Gotta admire the skills and attitude. Tha'ts what innovation is about.

OK. It's like someone sleeping with your wife. It can be washed off, but the prime pristine condition it ain't.

i like it too i buy that one rather than posh one just becuse looks more usable in scary sort way
esp part u can spin the rear tire , mind you chain looks like whoudint last very long .

I'm all for crazy designs and customizing the hell out of bikes, but this, to me, is criminal

When you see how it handles on the road I think it's worth it, to be able to chuck it into a corner in a slide then pull a wheel stand out of the corner is pretty epic. I'd rather have fun and enjoy every corner and straight than have it sitting in a shed (or more realistically a lounge center piece).

If he offered you to ride either his stock Desmosedici or the flat tracker chopped version what would you choose? I'd choose this one.

is that bubbles off the trailer park boys?

The one who asked what colour the power band is?


I like it but then I like flat trackers full stop.

Roland Sands does that with all his bikes.

There's a market, and he's the guy that builds them.

the guy has three Desmosedici's (Desmosedicii ?) this one, one in a crate, and a rider.

I really like it, as I said before, and his bike, his money: he can do what he wants.

No one said that he can't.

I love it. I love the flat tracker thing.

I saw an R1 turned into a flat tracker, complete with retro yammie colors. Looked fuckin primo.

I want one. If I wreck my vfr and the engine still goes, I might make my own.
