    And the not very appealing side. Fucked if anyone would pay 7 for that. Heck 4 might be pushing it (I'm assuming people have bad taste and might pay that for that 7 pinter)
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    I don't know if this has been posted here yet.

    The styling isn't my cup of tea but hey, whatever.. I'm mainly interested in the photo of it with a massive pool of oil underneath it! Whether it was from this bike or not, you'd think they'd choose a different photo!

    What are we observing here? Some sort of Dreadful motorcycle as fashion accessory type thing?

    Will there be another rash of crashes similar to the BornAgainBikers of the 90s/00s? Do we await the ACC backlash?

    Certainly the trade won't make any money from these shitboxes or sell any protective gear. Aliexpress might make a dollar on ridiculous Baubles.
    People will drift in, buy or build a mongrol, try look cool. Fail. Decide these things are rubbish and sell. Market saturates and tanks. TradeMe becomes full of these things.

    Riot. Famine. Localised Warfare spreading to global decree to shave all mens beards unless for medical reasons with a note from Winston and a weekly tidy trim certificate.

    So I guess some good will come of it.

    Not my cup of tea but far better than most
    i actually like the seat hump hoop i have never seen that done.
    But somethings up with the forks and the length it looks like he may have lowered them but cutting off coils something, Something just looks wrong its almost like in some pics they have a neg castor effect.
    I wonder if they were originally slightly offset axel to the front and he has swung them arround? no... they don't like they have any sag in the side stand pics at all

    You are more charitable than me. I just assumed he didn't know how to cover the hoop with aluminium or fibreglass.

    nah the taillight is inside it so i have to assume he meant it that way.
    that said he could have carried on the whole 70's rice burner theme and covered it with rice paper.

    Yes i did see that recessed tail light hoop thing. But like wearing your underpants on the outside of your trousers it doesn't make it a good idea.

    Possibly but in this case the taillight follows the contours of the hump pipe work. So he gets 10 house points for that.
    He also gets an extra point for the choke knob in the steering head stem.

    He loses points for the seat foam being to thick and being the same height as the faux seat hump.
    Some more for the rear brake arm being set at 1 oclock.
    I have no idea what the hole in the seat is for though, Glory?
    the tackiest part other than the overuse of MV and Beneilli tape on the Fork uppers and footrests is the ammo case wtf is that for.

    ...I've been riding shit for years...I'd be happy to use that as conveyance and look like a cool dude or a wank, wherever, or whatever is necessary...that's all any motive transport is...98% of my bikes which could never be ridden on a road again are for trying to convey me from point A to point B quicker than other bikes, however many times that takes...they are all shit too...whatever it takes...it's a Honda too, there's 10 points...

    Sideplate Ammobox will be along soon to say its want he wanted when a 16 year old Galant smasher.
    DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.

    Christ that's ugly. The hole in the seat is for access to the jesus screw which holds front of seat and rear of tank down. Most would simply peel back padding for access but he's gone the (w)hole hog. No points from me for the tail. He simply hasn't known how to make and upholster a proper hump.

    If I had to, I'd only ride it in the dark.....briefly.
