Z3n: Jul 21, 2007; I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

Nope, these pics got posted in a local motorcycle forum when talking about streetfighters. I agree the tail is gay but the rest of the bike is pretty hot. Judging by the tank, swingarm and engine it used to be a R1, that's all I can really gather.

Yeah...I love the look of the front, and the way the suspension parts and such are on display, but the short look kills the back end of the bike.

Also, CA plate, I bet that guy would get no end of poo poo from the cops...

I, for one, absolutely love the look of a naked tire sticking out there. Bobbers are some of my favorite bikes. When you turn a bike into a street fighter and get rid of the fairings and such yet leave a modern looking tail it looks ridiculous. Bob that bitch. The bike is sick, and I would definitely do that had I gotten an SV instead of a GSX-R.

Fantastipotamus: Nov 19, 2002; Nothing's wrong. Nothing is wrong. Everything is on track.

Man, that seat is so short it makes it look like it's got an extended swingarm. I really think the front end is well done, though.

Sloppy: Apr 25, 2003; Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere.

A little trim can look nice. That much just looks weird.

Plus it's only a matter of time until some bike hipster slides off his bobbed tail while stuntin' and gets smushed between the tire and the seat :v:

I dunno, I just cant get over the tail. They could have done alot with the stock subframe without using the stock plastics, but also without chopping it off at 8 inches, then getting a blind guy to wrap the seat.

EDIT: I know thats the stock seat, but the wrinkly parts make it look bad.

fronkpies: Apr 30, 2008; You slithered out of your mother's filth.

Have to agree with not liking the tail section, but the front end more than makes up for it.

I love british road racing. It is so loving insane how could you not love it. While the guy nearly pulling his knee off on the hill was awesome I was loving the wheelies and jumps over the hills, particularly the near 12'clock wheelie at 2:30.
