The most stunning thing about it is the proportionally appropriate front disc.

Yeah, it lost me with the donk-sized front wheel and a tour pak just to hold amps for a stereo you can't hear anyway. Dude does get bonus points for actually riding it and not just trailering it between bike shows and his annual pilgrimage to Sturgis

No it's totally uggo. I didn't want to be the first to say so and seem like I was just doing it to be contrary, though.

lol if you think you can't hear the speakers. I know (of) plenty of douchebags in the Pittsburgh area with ridiculously loud systems on their bikes.


Edit: This is not a justification of the aforementioned speakers.

Idunno. I think the most stunning thing is the fact that nobody seems to have mentioned the turbocharger yet.

And while it is exceptionally ugly, it is also exceptionally well-executed and the attention to detail is top notch.

What's happening with those wheels there? Can't tell if it's an optical illusion or my phone or you've rattlecanned them in the worst way.

It’s extra bad because the zx6r a generation before that was one of the best looking sportbikes of the late 90’s. Then they went and did That

The only thing you're wrong about is calling the bad katanas a sportbike, which couldn't be further from reality.

I found this after reading an article on the RC166. I'd love if there was a full series of tear downs of various famous race cars and bikes, preferably narrated by someone English (James May maybe).

I can't offer up famous race bikes but I can throw a CBR250RR engine teardown and build up into the ring. Maybe a RG500 clutch, transmission tear down and inspection. I have a post mortum coming up on two 450 SX-Fs and a 690 Adv. Take your pick.
