I couldn't decide which of the recent Bikeexif bikes were the least/most offensive... In the end, i just picked one.

S'ok. The mirror looks like it would only be any use for checking your lippy and the seat looks like you aren't expected to sit down much but, yeah, why not?

Looks great to pose around town on, making some noise, pulling the birds on. Until you take your lid off anyway .... :(

It's pretty much the only type of bike that those horrible rims will work on anyway.
But, stupid number plate and ticket magnet !

Love it. I like those stripped back bikes and of course, being in the right colour helps. Death to the meshed bell mouth though...

I'd rather have a standard DRZ - but I did have one for 9 years

Didn’t think it was possible to make the DRZ seat more uncomfortable but it looks like they’ve succeeded.

Just one word... WHY?

God knows how much that thing cost to build but I'd rather have the standard DRZ..

It looks like it'd be fun to ride in certain situations,but I wouldn't want it as an only bike. Visually,it doesn't make me angry or anything.

These arty,dark and heavily contrasty photos may hide a multitude of sins. Almost any bike/thing can look right in the half light.

Someone will buy one, then leave it in the shed and when he comes out on it in ten years everyone will point and laugh.
Then they will justify it by saying

"yeah but this one was built by "someone you've never heard of" so nerr "
