Ok people. Race Replicas. Love 'em? Hate 'em?

Whats your take on race replicas?

Some of them look bloody awesome, and some look like someones vomited all over them I reckon.
But I'd give one of my boobies for one of these!

(actually I'd give em both!!)

That JPS is pretty mint... I thought they were a Norton outfit, still looks awesome on the six hunfy though!

it's a fine line - if youre a shit rider then you look like a wannabe. if your a fast rider you look like a cock 'cause you should be out racing instead of pretending that you are.

I have the original race replica... '85 GSXR750

depends on the bike, some look good some dont, id have one if it rockd my socks.

Always looked a bit try-hard to me - especially if the rider is wearing a lolly-cake set of leathers.

I prefer the stealth race replica - or in hot rod terms the 'sleeper' - looks like a fairly unassuming standard sport bike, but it has all the poo-gear and a hot motor. Something a bit ordinary looking that blows away Bussas.

You know the type - you take them on expecting a walk over, but they go past you so bloody fast that you end up looking down at your engine expecting to see your injectors swinging in the wind

These look cool. Especially now that Rossi is back on top again.

**deeanddude** · 4th June 2008, 08:44

So right Alan! Sleepers are far better...especially when yr on one.

Race replicas are great. Some look good and some look like shit but either way you go, they mean more bikes on the road. Let's face it people want to be like their idols... I mean has anyone ever seen a Cowpoos race replica...?
