is it just me or does that fork slider look kinda bent?

The fender partially obscures the stanchion, a shadow of the front fairing partially obscures the upper, and the effects combine to look kindof like a curve:

Yuns: Aug 19, 2000; There is an idea of a Yuns, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there.

EDIT: sorry posted to the wrong thread

It's just vinyl dude, go buy an RT and get to wrappin'

Every so often I think I should try to vinyl wrap a bike, then I realize wrapping a fully faired sport bike is doing it on hard mode and I'd probably do a kind of lovely job and just leave it because it's not a mechanical issue

Yeah I get the feeling the cost of the vinyl and the labor involved would be more than the $3kish that guy is asking.

Partly because that bike is such a giant tumor it bumps the cost up.

The bottom one is the Desert Sled, the top one is the Nightshift. If only they put 1% of the work into the names as they do the rest of the design.

Mind you, how many non-cringe bike names are there? Blackbird and Hayabusa if you know the origins of the names, Cub because it was just so cute, can't really think of any more. The rest all sound like characters from Saturday morning toy-commercial cartoons - "Can Nightshift, Black Shadow and The Commander defeat Fireblade, Thunderace and Rocket? Will Monster, Bandit and Brutale rescue Bros and Goldwing? Find out in the next instalment - Fat Boy meets The Ninjas!"

Dude
K A T A N A

Edit: only applies to the original though, because it actually harkens to a real katana whereas the ones to come later look more like the owner of a katana

Yeah because everybody who's spent more than 10 seconds on the internet thinks "cool" when they hear the word "katana".

The grom is exactly what I expected when someone called it a grom.

Panigale is a cool name but also sounds like something found in the deli section. Interceptor is another good one but naming bikes after planes is kind of lazy.

Gimme a quarter lb of the prosciutto, another of the gabagool and a half pound of thick sliced panigale

This checks out

�Japanese Sword� is English for Japanese Sword

I only knew one sword weirdo in my entire life and all I know was he was livid when his wife got pregnant because that meant he�d have to put all the swords up above toddler height
