Too much crap, a little over done for my taste, but like you say jrivas, some of the chrome is kinda nice.

Re: When I saw this, I cried.

Well each to their own, personally I don't like it. IMHO the builder has spent a small fortune on making the bike look like a dog's breakfast.

I don't really get the PS2 thing - OK nice to see it can be done, but pretty pointless, especially the expensive alternative to a rear hugger - you'd have to sit on the floor to use the rear screen! Maybe it'd make (a little) sense on a Goldwing to keep the passenger entertained.

Re: When I saw this, I cried.

That is the worst looking bike that I have ever seen. I am not a fan of custom sportbikes, some look ok..some look really bad. This one is the worst.

Even worst it is a waste of a RC!!!///that magazine co could have found something better than that.!!!!!

To show how stupid some people can be!

It looks as if he spends more time cleaning it than he does riding it.

Does make me feel sick too!

I understand if someone wants to put chrome on their bikes, fine thats ok (I love chrome on my classic cars) but to then put a PS2 AND also fit screens in the most stupid of places?!

IMO hes wrecked the bike, and I think he shouldn't be allowed it. (He should give it to me so I can get her back to how she should be to be honest )

the PS2 is the funniest part. they spend all that money and what, couldn't figure out how to fit a PS3 in there?

Re: When I saw this, I cried.

Wow is it possible to make RC radiators less efficient????.
Personally i thought Honda put em there as frame sliders. They work great in that respect...deform on impact, absorbing shock as they go and, you can slide further due to the water acting as a lubricant....hehe.
