Some bolognaise sauce would look good on those headers.

I'm not normally appreciative of Hondas,but that's a proper looking muscle bike.

I wonder if this is my coming out post. :shock:

Looks fun but I can't say I'm a fan of the colour scheme.

Nice, but even nicer with a pair of 3 into 1 exhausts, one exiting either side.

Things I don't like.

1. That 'nest of vipers' exhaust. Three into 1 each side if you CBA to go full on 6 into 6.
2. That tank paint scheme. It's shit and not that far away from hotrod 'flames' bollocks.
3. Wavy discs. By fitting them you just blew whatever tiny amount of credibilty you had left.
4. Single sided swingarm. Why? It's not a fucking MV or Ducati, it belongs to the 70s. Fuck off.
5. That stubby megaphone. It looks shit and it will sound shit. See point 1.

Things I like.

I'll get back to you on that one.
