That's not nice but I think it's still an improvement on the original bike.

Choppers are bad enough, the V50 isn't exactly powerful and they used possible the worst thing Honda ever put on a bike, the enclosed disc brake.

In fairness, he hasn't done too bad a job. There are some shit bits, like the seat, but he's basically flipped the engine and frame. As standard the VFR had a lacquered aluminium frame and a black powder-coated engine. He's changed that to a silver engine and black frame. The only real problem is that it's an 86/87 VFR which ran a 16" front wheel and an 18" rear wheel, and choice of tyres in those sizes is very restricted.

Compared to some of the visual horrors that appear on here, that's quite tame. I wouldn't give it house room, but I'm probably being lenient because it's a VFR.
