Why would you do this?

I am sorry if I offend anyone or somebody knows who owns this bike. But who else reckons that this is the cheapest taste ever? It looks hideous!! Looking though all the uder 250s and came across this on trademe... Why would you do this to what was a nice looking bike?

It looks sharp. It's better than other that I've seen lol

Seems a bit over the top for a 250 if you ask me. Would look good in Repsol colours though.

I have to say it would look a whole lot better if it was painted. I do however question you taste in bikes, as I for one think tyga kits are the shiz and most of the other bikers I know think that as well.

I reckon that the best looking bikes are the original bikes, I may not have had the best selection of bikes in my short biking life, but why wreck a good looking bike? Performance upgrades, hell yeh, but why waste money making something look good (for some) when thats where it ends... And the neon lights?

A lot of people like the TYGA kits, but to be honest they look a little anodyne and generic. The original CBR250RR was a cool looking bike -- dated though; perhaps too dated for the engine and the running gear (nothing really to match it nowadays). But cool looking in a period sense.

Different strokes for different folks...If people did not customize then there would be no custon bikes (duh to me) or NO HOTRODS

id have it...without the wanky neons.

the tyga kit looks awesome in repsol colours

wonder if it would fit my spada

Up to taste I suppose. Still reckon its a way to kill a bike.No respect from me, mind you my taste in bikes is a bit old school though (minus rg, thats just a helluva lot of fun to ride and does it for me). Im a architecture student, and a bit arty farty at that, but I compare this to a honda prelude with a shitty looking body kit...
