sorry...not pretty.
too bulky looking
Sweet :)
Why in God's name?
The Hyper wasn't wheelie-happy enough already?
...want.
there is some small clean up to do...but still a helluva lot prettier than the Streetfighter IMHO!
I actually like that a lot. I typically am not a fan of naked liquid cooled bikes, but thats pretty sweet. I suspect the view of the front left is where it may look a little busy with the plumbing and all though.

Your probably right but you can put the DP Silicone Hose kit on to replace the stock hoses it would really make it look nice. A good battery cover would be in the works i think too. This is probably why the pics are only of the right side
I think this is more practical.

Cool, but given the choice, I'd take this Roland Sands custom:

dam, that means i can't goof off by examining the pics.
ohh well.
+1 looks better than the streetfighter 8)
I like it a lot - a whole lot. Would still like to have a fuel tank that would hold 5 gal.

It'd be nice if the HMT tank even held 3 gallons...

It holds 3.3, slightly less then the new Monster's 3.8. Chris Kelley is weeks away from releasing his Hyper replacement tank. Estimated size..7 gallons. [clap]

Yeah, the Monster holds 3.8, and doesn't let go of it! I've run out of gas before and STILL never put more than 3.2 gallons in it...

That will be awesome!
thanks for posting the pics. looks pretty cool. but, to call it supermoto is being quite liberal. I wouldn't foresee it performing worth a piss on a supermoto track.

Yup. Supermoto styled bikes is what they are. For some reason the look caught on but not what really makes it a supermoto. I never understood that. It is like the Hummer H2/H3. They copied the look of an ugly but functional truck but left out the function.
