    Dude you need a beer - a proper beer not one of those watered down Budweisers

    Personally I have enjoyed this post - its always good to see what others are doing with bikes even if its not your personal cup of tea.

    I don't understand the point of this turbo R1 or whatever it was, you can't really use that power on the street, and that bike would get BLITZED by a 125 around the hills, it would be so unrideable.

    Its a show bike...so the tuning company can demonstrate what they can do.
    That way when someone wants to ruin their bike they'll know where to go to get the best ruined bike they can
