I'm with you on the orange Sprock. What a good way to spoil the look of a nice bike. They look **** hot in black imo, but so do most bikes. That back end would have to go too. I just can't stand the big dicky obscenity sticking out from behind the modern sports bikes. There's some good kits available to tidy them up though.

Those BMWs are really something, and a hell of a bang for your buck too!

Hmmm...Maybe the camera was in one hand and some 'camera shake' was being caused by the other. Bike shops are pretty exciting places after all

yeah I wuz a wee bit shakey .....happens sometimes ,but no Dave not in that way
come on now remember it's a family forum , anyhow it was beside a vfr and to be
honest there was not that much difference between either of 'em .....very hard lines
and angles .........the orange .......well a bit to "Tropicana" looking for me too.

The tail......... what needs to be said ......... if you bought a 2010 CBR 1000RR like this
it would be the first item on the agenda to get the axe !

Of course the NHTSA makes the manufacturers put these hideous "rat tails" on the bikes
purely for compliance purposes anyway ........real ****en stoopid if you ask me.

the orange would be okay with me if it didn't have the silver. it's that combo that disagrees with me.
