It looks like something a 13 year-old schoolboy drew up on the back of his mathematics book while daydreaming at school one day. That's how much "design" it's got.

And when have you ever seen any sports bike built by an American that had any of the class that we see European sports bikes built to..???

So it's not up to your "purist" aesthetics ... ? Who gives a (fill in your own words .. mine would both start with F ) ... I'd like to play on that ...

And I notice you don't ride a classy European sports bike ...

Not sure why your getting bent out of shape, opinions have been asked for and given. Would be a boring world if we all thought the same.

And it's still uglier than and ugly think.

oh it's definetely ugly, but the question is has it looped around to being good looking as well? in a contextual sort of way

I recall seeing Ginger Molloy on the H1R* at Gracefeild same year as Geoff Perry was on the Suzuki TR500* - Perry had a damaged foot and was allowed a pusher to start so he got a flyer. Molloys bike didn't start until he had pushed it damn near to the first bend - rode the wheels off the thing and just about caught perry on the final lap. Epic race in the days when race bikes did not wear mufflers = glorious noises

*may have been 750s

close as

There are bikes on the road now which when they came out first, such as the original Katana, many of us thought were ugly as ... but as they went past us on the road we thought BUGGA ... even if we didn't say it out loud, 'cause it wasn't "cool" 'cause they were rice burners ...

Now, many of us think they look cool ... .. and some of us even own classic Jappas ... unthinkable 35 years ago (I don't - gave up on classic anything - I want to be a rider, not a mechanic)

If you buy a bike for looks you're probably a Harley rider .. or a wannabe ... You can't see much of a bike from the seat ...

My previous long distance bike was a 1900 BMW R100GS PD - the really ugly desert racer-style with the huge tank ... I buy bikes I want to to ride . I've stopped worrying about looks ...

Now here's the thing... Without the God Ugly cover over the pipes, I kinda like it... Kinda almost but it's not quite ugly enough to be loved.

Well that's your opinion and your welcome to it. Doesn't apply to every rider out there. I will however bet you DB's left nut that asthetics plays some part in your choice.

i think its beauty lies in the fact that it is obviously a shed creation, someone has given it a go. Not saying all shed creations look good, just that they are judged to different standards.

I think it looks like a piece of American built shit. The only nice things going for it is the engine and forks. Both of which are Japanese.

Its only the colour scheme that lets it down, if the whole thing was polished instead of painted it would look outstanding.

**pete376403** · 24th June 2010, 19:48

Lotsa feeling about how it looks, not much about how it might go, or turn, or stop.

The old race triples are lovely to look at, but in their day, there was only one thing that they were built for and it wasn't to look good.

You would want have a bit of time getting to know that engine, especially the point it gets on the pipes, imagine finding that out mid corner!

Mate , having raced big 2 strokes for ages i know what they are like , but .... an old big 2 stroke is a nasty hairy beast if treated with anything other than fear and respect lol.
