mmm. Not really my kind of thing, but as you say each to their own.

that middle red one looks mean as

yellow one needs to ditch the cover over the pipes... and rider needs to lose some weight and let the rear perk back up

definitely cooler than a stock hornet

another factory streetfighter? bugger!

**James Deuce** · 29th August 2008, 06:47

It's gorgeous. The middle one is one you get to build yourself with parts and accessories from the factory in Italy. Works out around $30k though.

Your riding is what the cops care about, not the bike apart from the obvious Rego and WoF compliance.

The dash is a work of art and the whole bike smacks of "quality", something lacking from a couple of Honda's competitors.

Looks like a cross between an Apache Helicoptor and KTM 690 Duke...

Red tipped exhausts makes it look like its got a bad case of hemaroids... hahahaha

Coolest part on the bike has to be the red chain...

Sorry no sale here... im gona stick with saving up for a Triumph Street Triple.

look's a little fugly, but it also look's like a bit of a bad arse

**HungusMaximist** · 29th August 2008, 08:13

It's pretty bad arse and agressive looking in my books, which is a good thing.

Loving the red coloured drive chain!

I like very much

**avgas** · 29th August 2008, 08:29

The first photos i saw in the press were of the italian job (2nd and last photos) and i was like FUCK YES.
But then i saw how many euros it was gonna cost and saw the standard bike i was like FUCK THAT - I"D BUY A HARRIS FOR THAT MONEY!
so yes - std CB1000R is ugly.

is that like a car wheel on the back with 4 seperate nuts?

**racefactory** · 29th August 2008, 10:03

I think it's a little fugly as well, but it's more the fact that it looks like it's saying fuck off to the pigs, which is worrying I think.
