I agree I was thinking that when I opened up the site that the bike would blow your socks off. But I agree with No name it is Fugly.

Ok, I see the stack/intake for the carb/Fi on the right side.

WTF is that stack/intake on the left side?

And I agree with FUGLY. 80K invested and will entertain all offers over 20K?

The bike looks cool till you get to the *** end. It's too f'n big, looks stupid. That's cool that they've got $10000 wheels on it but what happens when you need something for them? Custom brake system...where do you get parts and how much will those cost? Than again, someone with too much money will buy it and it'll become garage jewelry.

Cool bike...but it is the sign of the times. All kinds of high end toys for sale everywhere if you have the cash.

Big Assed Biotch.. LOLOL!!
Yeah he would be real lucky to get $20 K for that, and should take it.
He foked up by putting a reserve on it when he should have just listed it for $20. At least that way he would have got that much out of it. I wouldn't give $10 K for it.

I'd take the reserve off, the $20k offered is a deal these days.
