Looked like an elephant has sat on it.  [coffee]

I wouldn't kick it out of the garage.

just not a fan of the bobber look on modern bike frames

reminds me of the Lazereth SS 1000

From the dash forward I'm in love. [drool]

Looking at the pics, before reading I thought, that's the best they can do with the top triple? Reading what they did really impressed me.

As for the rest, all I see is swingarm..... :P

that front end is awesome. so clean

but if it's based off an 1100, why's it got a dss?

also, whats the range on it with that tank??  looks like it'd hold ~1 gallon.

Looks **just** like the other bike.  In fact, it took me a minute to determine that it wasn't.

Perhaps thinking outside the box is now passe.


It can be done and this (obviously same as the other JvB bike) are good examples of this, but it needs a touch more something...  Not sure what, but something...

Creativity? Imagination? Originality? Soul? Spirit? I can do this all day!  ;D

Honestly, the bike does nothing for me. To me, it looks like the Honda Civic that shows up from time to time at work with the bondoed on hood scoop, Buick fender vents and the fart can muffler.
It makes the old addage, "Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should." come to mind.

Didnt we see this bike 9 years ago at WDW?

this is the updated version with an 1100S as the base

sorta....I think...as I said before...

here is the JVBM bike

Well, at least he's consistent.

No, *here's* the first JvB bike:

Tho all of this is picking the fly shit out of the pepper.

 He had a customer that wanted the bike like that. The swingarm allowed him to put the battery in the swingarm.

Too much tail chop and too much fender chop. The gauge location is great. Battery in the swing arm while unusual may not be a great location. I like the fluid  reservoirs in the top triple. The tank is just OK. I don't like all these sharp lines on the newer bikes. I hope that trend dies.

The sexiest cars, boats and motorcycles and other stuff have curves, like a woman. Hard chiseled women are not attractive and neither are machines with chiseled lines. Those are only attractive if your a Cylon. Lamborghini countach excepted.

That front fender...why even have it?

I like it but Id rather see it with Boomtubes [evil]

jus so you know the original Countach didn't have all those angles/addons

I like how you can't see out the back and it's what Darth Vader would drive.

No. But put any Duc tail on it and it would prolly look good.


And what's with the vacuum attachment off the motor? Turbo scoop?

Houses the oil cooler...

+1

IMO, sexiest cars of all time (in no particular order):
'62 250 GTO
'67 275 GTB/4
Eagle Speedster

I like it.
