| 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.!!!!!  |

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

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  )

He probably wrecked it doing a wheelie in front of his crack dealer friends.  |

I pretty much hate everything in Super Streetbike. |

| 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. |
