Somehow less is not more in this instance.

And here I was thinking it wasn't possible for a 999 to look any worse than when it was sitting on the showroom floor.

It's got a Road Warrior appeal for me - I think I'd like to ride that bike.

Why would you like to ride it?

Seriously.  What do you see in it?



When I look at it, all I see are mods that make it look worse and are less functional than stock parts.

Hey, let's cut down the stock belt covers to save weight.

Oops, now they don't protect anything and look stupid.

Well let's make a custom front fender.

Oops, now it doesn't keep any spray from coming up in front of the windshield and doesn't protect the radiator for shit.

At least it's lighter b/c it's smaller.

Wait.  It's made of metal instead of plastic (or better yet, CF.)  make the beast with two backs it, let's move on.

Okay, let's do a custom tail section.  Wanna start with a rear fairing that looks like the rider just farted out a comet?

Sweet.

Now let's make a seat that'll smash the make the beast with two backs outta your balls on the tank.

Well if we're gonna do that we need a sweet custom tank.

Cool.  Let's build one in our garage so it looks like a 5th grader drew up the lines and we didn't have the proper tools to make the lines straight.

Hey, about that seat... let's drill some holes to make up for the ungodly weight of the tail section behind it.

And now for the pièce de résistance, let's design a front fairing that looks like the make the beast with two backsing thing from Alien.

Wait, but let's give it a really big forehead.  And make the beast with two backs any wind protection from it.  Let's just make it useless and add to the weight of the bike.

Oh, don't forget to cut down the heat shield on the exhaust so it's totally useless too.

Cool.  Now let's decide on a color scheme.  I want polished.

No way dude.  Matte.

Screw it, let's do both.

Nice.  That'll fit in great with the stock gold forks.

Now whose name are we gonna put on the frame?






At least it has an open clutch.

 Roll Eyes






eta:  Hey, at least they left the stock radiator hanging out like a turd on each side instead of making a custom one.

I like his aesthetic when applied to vintage air-cooled machinery (the older the better), but it just doesn't fly in this case.  IMO.
