Check out the titanium frame & swingarm.  I like the custom made bodywork.  It looks lower on the frame which gives it an aggressive look.

I'm sure it's unbelievable to ride, and the BLING factor of this thing sets a new standard for a '10' on the 1 to 10 scale...

But $140K?!?  Uh...I'm out.  That's $ for a 916SPS, a 748R and a green-framed 73 SS750 with enough $ left over to build a garage to put them in.   Roll Eyes

....and I would hardly call this bike "custom";  I mean, with a bolt-on fender and a coat of blue paint.  Come on.  I'd pull way more chicks and guidos standing next to the douchebag monster. Shocked

140k is sort of inline with a custom chopper..

this thing has a custom hand built ti frame and swingarm, and also bodywork, also did you guys see these guys even made a new billet crank.. billet cranks? i didn't even think they could make that?.. damn

this bike belongs in tony stark's garage.

i think he's mistakenly thinking that billet means aluminum - billet simply means "machined from solid block", in this case billet steel, etc. No billet alu cranks out there.

Ok, lets say the thing is made out of 21k gold and diamonds, It's still a bike that will get smoked by a GSXR 1K. The whole custom chopper thing should be a thing of the past. When will people stop paying huge amounts of money for something thats slightly custom. Basically the design work is already done. Its not like they invented the wheel. Still anice bike though.

i doubt it gets smoked on the track by a gsxr 1k.

sure, in a straightline acceleration retard contest, it'll lose. like every ducati. especially a naked. But getting a bike under 300lbs and over 110hp is going to make it quite quick on a track.

such an apples to oranges comparison is stupid.  bang head
