Default how much chrome is 2much chrome

I can only say wow... I found this ad here in florida and I was thinking... this is by far way 2much chrome and it blinds me just even to look at it! [:'(] I think the ex pipe looks amazing, I like to know your reaction when you see a bike like this?

I don't think sport bikes look good with chrome. It's just way too impractical. Having said that, I think it looks pretty impressive to have practically every square inch of the bike chromed, but only for show to perhaps display the builder's talent. I sure as hell would not want to ride that thing. I agree on the exhaust. Looks like an MV Agusta pipe.

Exhaust looks sh**! Alittle chrome is alright! But for a show bike, this would really be a show stopper! As a street bike, its too much but every 1 has their own wants and needs????

i am trying to get mine as black as possible
right now the only silver left is the swingarm and brake rotors

as soon as i can afford it the swing arm is powdercoated as well

oh well to each his own

btw
chrome is heavy and hurts handling

That is very expensive to do.. Since we do alot of that type of stuff at the shop, I can attest that dude has a ton of money in chroming the plastic. It is 2-3X more to chrome plastic parts, over metal parts..
I like the look, for show-quality, but like others have said, I couldn't ride that mirror! [8D]

looks stupid.. but god damnit, you would be seen from like 2 miles away if the sun was out.. but it's only a show-bike, if you wrecked that thing.. you lost probbly $30-40K. alittle chrome is ok but powdercoating is alot better i believe..
