Isn't this the bike he fell of or nearly got squashed between cars?
Maybe that was someone else.

I think it was Mr Pitt that nearly squished himself.

Nice bike.

Personally, dislike the bike and I also found a room of people that care about this very topic:

If this wasn't David Beckham then the posts in this thread would be more along these lines:

"Wow, nice gear squid."

or

"Look forward to your broken ankles with those shoes."

But no.

I do like the bike though, shame it's being ridden by a tosser.

I love the distressed look on the helmet - probably took a minion several minutes to make it look decades old. Lucky there's nothing worth protecting under it, eh?

Indeed! He also chose an open face helmet, the least protective he could find perhaps, which he then promptly slammed against a concrete floor a few times just to be sure. This probably also explains his choice of drum brakes, perfect if you don't mind being slower to stop than an oil tanker or aircraft carrier.

It would be cool but...

Beckhams riding it and he probably paid $25k for it or something stupid which makes it uncool.

If bikes are a reflection of the man riding them then this is a perfect example.

The bike is backwards and slow. Just like the owner.
