interesting that he shoe-horned those old school Tarozzi footpegs onto that frame.  I'd like to see it up close to see how he kludged it.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

What's the white box with the red and green stripe sitting above the Marcus Design F1 Tracker's top triple clamp? Air box intake??? Huh?

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

That or a vintage "on bike" camera housing.

yes they are. He was going for a slim profile and putting it on the sides wasnt an option for him.

Looks like he was trying to make it look like a F1 car air intake. Kinda ruins the lines of a otherwsie nice looking bike.

plus, anyone with their blog site pasted on their motorcycle....  boo x2

ok, just to name a few from this photo angle.
 the swingarm looks janky and barely held in place. Cant put my finger on it, but its not right.
The swingarm appears to be longer than it need/should be
The complete lack of any clutch cover whatsoever adds nothing and looks unfinished.
while I like the design concept of piecewise exhaust pipes, this one is of a terrible design.
It looks like someone wanted to proudly display the "function over form" but they forgot what the function was and instead you end up with no form, no function.
The aforementioned blog site.
the silly little brake light looks like its just resting on the license plate mount
which itself looks like a broken mudflap pointing straight back like that.
There is no proper alignment between the seat pan and the tank.
Silver some places, black others with no rhyme or reason to it.
please tell me thats not a "missile launch" style switch for an ignition?
back to the seat pan again, its at a different angle than the rear "subframe" leaving an unsightly gap.

that's a stock S2R swingarm.  the lack of an udder or exhaust pipes in front of it make it look like it is further from the bike.

the exhaust is overdone and the seat doesn't fit, that's about where i see it.  i could care less about the blogsite, cheesy but it can be painted over/removed.

Don't forget the lack of a front fender.

The pipes are stupid. You weld sections of short pipe segments because you can not bend the pipe in tight radius or are changing diameters (like a 2 stroke expansion chamber).

There is no reason that he couldn't bend a pipe to that radius (or have it done for the cost of the welding consumables). Even if it is titanium.
