Why would you do this to a perfectly good ZX10
Why would you do this to a perfectly good ZX10
I could be wrong, but after watcing the motorsport on Prime this afternoon, I would speculate that it may have been done for drag racing purposes.Originally Posted by wkid_one
The pipe on it looks a lot like the pipes they put on turbocharged Busa's.
Of course, it could be the motorcycle equivalent of those stupid bouncing cars...
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

He wouldn't be drag racing with that swing arm I can tell you that now!Originally Posted by celticno6
Oh, okay, I thought it would have worked a bit like a wheelie bar, to stop the front coming up.Originally Posted by wkid_one

Long arm,fat as rear rim,drag pipe and single front disc all point that direction anyway....

Swing arm too weak and fuck all braking - he has NO rear and only one front - it isn't strapped and lowered.Originally Posted by DEATH_INC.
It is purely for pose value

That`s friggin awful,I`d say the owner`s a total poser who rides it to impress by-standers.It`s certainly not a lot of good for anything else now it`s been butchered,bet it`s bloody evil to ride.Originally Posted by celticno6
That's how they run 'em over there(I assume the us) it's lowered alright look at the front fork tops....and there's a rear brake(it's by the sprocket,ss arm remember).Originally Posted by wkid_one

No apparently there isn't a rear brake according to the guy who built it - and it isn't for drag racing - purely for posing on the weekends. Other front disk was removed to show the rims off.
Here are some drag bikes

It's all about indivuiduality,- even if the rest of us think it looks like all the dozens of other similarly equiped Subarus

I think it looks pretty cool, each to their own and that, why does every one have to ride the same way? Ohhh, look at those chicken strips, blah, blah, blah. No, I wouldnt do it if I had a ZX10R but so? Its called customising, isnt it?

Crickey, that sure shows a lot of individuality in those pics. While not are all to my taste(suprise-suprise) if the work was mainly done by the owners, you gotta give them the thumbs up for effort. That all chrome looking thingaminyjig would be a tad ard on the eys in the sunlight, huh?
