Also, I'm all for people spending their own money on doing whatever they want to their bikes/cars/etc.. But what the fuck is this??

A waste of a perfectly good TLR... May it rest in peace

Looks alright to me, what's you're boggle with it? If $4.5K would buy it, someone will be doing ok.

It never left! I actually considered buying it to give it some dignity by at least riding it but the owner is not prepared to go out of his way at all so it all got too hard. For a low k's TL it is good money but that rear end?..... still, if like me, you prefer a more upright bike, it does have some redeeming points. Old photos and childish energy drink stickers are keeping it in his garage tho IMO...

I'll leave the "superbike" thing alone, but given their respective antecedents I think the rubber is entirely appropriate.

Yes I feel ashamed and a bit dirty. It really is that stripped metal tank with a badge. It's like the ugly chick that you keep sneaking a peek of her amazing boobs on display.

You fucking well should be ashamed, if you gets yer jollies with an apparently uncoated, dented steel tank there's no hope for you.

Yeah it looks like it was assembled in Bali so I believe that .

Favorite part is the air filter. Nice clean instalation.
