I am open to correction but I think its actually the worst attempt at a café racer I have ever seen grace the pages of this thread.

They couldn't even get some pics of it without a lady dry retching in the background.

Notes I made for a thing I wrote a while ago:

Pantah

Admittedly attractive on the eye, it was uncomfortable gutless lumpen proof of what happens when socialists drinking Grappa working under Mafioso management build a bike.

And then it rained.
The overtaxed 500 would randomly change into the worlds heaviest and least powerful 250 when water got anywhere near the front cylinder.
And then back to a 500 again.
Usually on the apex of a corner.

Like, you're not building these things so you can post them up first are you?

How dare you Sir. I may be lower than pond slime, but I do have some standards.

That's the one. The new Michelins have real deep mothers. They look great.

I think this prick got the decimal point in the wrong place.
Shoulda cleaned up the puddle of green liquid before taking the photos too.

Yeah that'd be the one even though the ones on the new gen ME77s don't extend all the way to the edge of the tread blocks per the average water sipes, I suppose they're more for heat dissipation. Bloody bloody butchers naming slits after themselves lol probably only came up with it after attacking a tire with his carving knife

This bike isn't grossly overpriced, though probably worth under $10k because of its age. But why specifically advertise as "No drop, no damage" when anyone with half decent vision can see the banana shaped brake lever?
