The idea is good, but they forgot to get a second opinion along the way  coffee

Front brake rotor, front fender, fork travel, swingarm too long and looks like it isn't going to be stiff, but most of all that paint scheme is very uninspired....

Please try again - it can be quite nice waytogo

details details..

a 4v mono, full trellis sub 300lb bike with trellis SSS


sure, they cheaped on the forks, and the swingarm guy is a Busa fan, but still,
THIS is the bike Ducati should be introducing this November.

RSD makes some great looking stuff, no doubt.

Functionality is another story, a buddy of mine has a bike built by them, very problematic.

It ain't no Flight Cycle. waytogo

Unfortunately, the details are important.

You can't sell a bike with no blinkers or mirror.
It wouldn't pass any noise regulation or emissions.
It doesn't even have a freaking license plate.

It's easy to make a bike really light and cool and minimalist looking when you leave a bunch of the necessary stuff off.

Lots of folks get a big boner over bikes like this.
But that's all you get, a big boner over a bike you could't ever ride.

The gas tank and seat are ok. The headlight and exhaust are sweet. I could puke on everything else  boo

God and the more I look at it the more I hate it. I take back the headlight comment due to those stupid mother of pearl costume jewelry looking cut outs on it and the exhaust is still cool but only if it wasn't on that horrible bike.

Arm chair quarterbacking is easy, building a custom is not.

There really is a lot of cool stuff on that bike. I just can't get over those forks. Can anyone explain why? Why do forks like that even exist?
