Yeah...that's a pretty interesting bike. I always wondered if the owner had the plastics chromed or if they used chrome paint. Alsa Corp has all kinds of nifty little paints, from standard to color shifting chrome. A bit bright but very artistic bike...I'd hate to have to clean it [&:]

Stephygee, I like your quote.

The bike is a great show bike, but cleaning would be a nightmare.

Ok... now since the bike is finished... put it in its glass box and never take it out again. What a waste of a bike. It's nothing but a show bike after all that work.

i think the r1 is a gorgeous bike, and i guess i like chrome just as much as the next guy (unless this guy was the next guy) but man is this one ugly, just my opinion..

Personally I think it's F*ing ugly as all hell. LoL I'd have to agree it does need a few more tail pipes I can still see space! Totally pointless but hey if thats what you like to do you go right on ahead and do it

That thing would reflect so much light in your face that you'd get a sunburn riding it on a cloudy day.

That exhaust is the Laser Extreme. I almost bought it... they make a two pipe system that looks sweet on the 600RR, Rev has it on his bike here. The only reason I didn't was because I couldn't find any data that says it doesn't hurt performance.

But also, it's the same exhaust setup that's on the MV Agusta F4-1000 Tamburini

Edited.. forgot to mention... the f4-1000 MSRP is 42,695. Think I can talk them down to an even 40K?
