    $150,000 bike... Your thoughts?

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/.../mfbike107.xml

    I kinda like the styling, but really impractical on any NZ road...

    My thoughts are my own.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    $150,000 for THAT!
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    Speaking of impractical on NZ roads, can anyone remember the URL for that (French?) bike designer who turns sport bikes in to crazy street fighters etc? Lazerus design or something. I'm sure there was an 'i' in there somewhere...
    I've had a look around but can't find it anymore. Some of his bikes were around that price range if I remember correctly. Bloody expensive but some were very nice-looking.

    Looks hideous, and on paper appears slower than most bikes 1/3rd its price if thats what you're into.

    So yeah, think not.. Rather a Buell even, and i'm not a fan of low revving engines. Despite carbon fiber it weighs more than a sportsbike, sports an engine double the displacement and still manages to waste most of that putting out 120hp - sure its got heaps of torque though.

    actually, it's only $136k, so you wouldn't be able to get that R1
