| Re: New VTR ???? My favorite part is the extra doubled up frame rail that is a different color. That really makes the photo look good.
I'd rather see a new Hawk than a revised SuperHawk. |

Think of how much better it would handle with 2 frames instead of 1! |

| Re: New VTR ???? Very 1000RR looking, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. If that's a fake, someone did a nice job on it.
And as long as we're wishing, I'd like to see a liter twin get more than 100 miles to a tank. |

| Re: New VTR ???? That IS a fake, and is a horrible one at that.
It's just a 1000RR pic with the mid section of a SuperHawk layered over the top. Then they took and painted some black over the headlight and drew a stupid looking ram air intake on it. They didn't even bother to blend in the headlight line.
The frames are misaligned and both visible, the swingarm isn't attached to anything and the shock is plainly visible, yet it has a "Unit Pro-Link" swingarm.
That's not even up to par with Reuters' PhotoShop skills. |

| Re: New VTR ???? Vtrsp1-2foreva, did you check the age of the thread before posting?
I think as said above, it was just a fake with someone who has too much time and has Photoshop.

THEN WHERE THE F*** IS THE NEW VTR THAN? OR THE SP? | not sure how realistic it is when its a 600rr nose and possibly front end, 1000rr tail and rear end, Superhawk (Firestorm) engine and mid fairing, and 2 frames. not sure where they swiped the lower fairing from though. |
