Re: Flow Motion Project Blue Diablo
I quite like it too, in a 'wouldn't want to own it or ride it, hate the mirrors and it'll be stupidly loud' sort of way. It's nice enough to look at on a screen.

Re: Flow Motion Project Blue Diablo
Much as I deride the exhaust, I do have acknowledge the fact they actually used a pipe bender.

Re: Flow Motion Project Blue Diablo
I don't know the donor bike... did they bend the frame to get the exhausts inside that vertical tube? or is the frame that wide (and kinks in at the top) as standard?

Re: Flow Motion Project Blue Diablo
Fork and body colours paint clash badly for me, but, unexpectedly, I like it. Yes, that exhaust is going to cause problems, and hearing loss, but you could point a joint in it with a hidden internal baffle. If the battery is in the seat unit, and I'm assuming it is, I'd worry about the heat right underneath it?
So, i'd get the baffle done, bung some side panels on and paint it black. Job's a good un!

Re: Flow Motion Project Blue Diablo
As a design exercise i like what they have done but as a useable bike the rest have already covered it

Re: Flow Motion Project Blue Diablo
They actually gave the bike away in a draw. I was tempted to enter, but I missed the deadline anyway. Plus shipping it from Aus and registering it might be fun.
The colour is Porsche Riviera Blue by the way - that's what I actually wanted to find out, 'cause it was bugging me
