Was wondering if this really is the squeekiest example of sexy bike I have ever seen - any one got any real dazzlers? Of course, opinion matters but I'd still like to know if any one agrees. Mr. Green
I also wanted to share it with you.



Not my bike, yet .

By the way am I seeing that right?

Is the rear wheel only attached to the frame via one arm, on the other side of the bike? Shocked

Laughing No photoshopping from me, although the 'stars' do look a bit suspect. Looks like it's been taken with a decent camera any how. Very sharp. Can't find the link where I found this though.

Weird. I can't say that I've ever noticed it on any bike Shocked

I guess I just don't notice it on most bikes but it certainly stands out on that one.

is it just me, or is there a lack of a breaking disk on the back wheel? That chrome star shape just looks out of place really.

Other than that, its a bit ott, but a nice bike! Very Happy Lol - thats what you want your bike to look like when you sell it on ebay! hehe.. you should see the state of some of the bikes they have up there!

It's behind the sprocket on the other side, as is the case with all single sided swingarm bikes.

Too chromey for my liking, I wouldn't own it, couldn't face all the polishing. But it's very tastefully done.

My thoughts exactly.

The bike looks really nicely done, and not OTT like some that I've seen... but I'd assume the owner never rides it?!

I would Thumbs Up Mr. Green - It'd probably be for one of those 'custom shows' that americans like to do I guess. But at least people would see you coming. Laughing

A real head turner if you managed to keep it that clean and take it out on the sunniest of days.

That is simply amazing, certainly never seen anything like that before, it would certainly make heads turn, but oh, all that chrome to clean, would take a month of sundays to do!
