    Polish This? Are You Mad?

    Looks nice, don't know if it's worth the effort though!

    Well seeing as it's a Yamashit, I'd say it's definitely not worth the effort.

    What a fucken WOFTAM (Waste of fucken time and money!!!)
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Looks to me like a show bike that gets transported from show to display stand to garage on the back of a truck, doubt it's ever ridden....... or meant to be.

    Yeah - even I wouldn't want to do that much polishing (and that is something I secretely enjoy).
    The reflection from the tank on a sunny day would make it a bugger to ride wouldn't it?

    Can you imagine the bloody fingerprints from all those snotty nosed little kids who love to touch bikes? I think the novelty would soon wear off, that's for sure.
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

    I think it looks really nice... but yeah, way too much damn effort in keeping it clean and the sun would be an issue... certainly a head turner though...

    You forget that overseas and especially in the US, there's a whole different biker subculture that we don't seem to have here, where bling is king, and everything else is secondary. They even have their own biker week, totally separate to the Daytona one, and based around stunting and cruising to show off your wheels.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    The whole bike could pass for a mirror but it wouldn't pass a WOF because of no mirrors.

    Why the hell would you do that to a sports bike? Chrome on bikes looks pretty naff (unless it's your forks of course), and that's just awful.

    Might work in Jaffaland though. No probably not, only in the US of A.

    Probably. Totally impractical for the real world.
