Some of these customs i really like... some i really don't...

Some, like this one, just make me go

[porter_jamie]

oh. some of the parts individually look quite nice. the pipes and so on. but all together it just looks silly. id much rather have a standard one.

(It looks like something you might dream about after eating too much cheese. Definitely less than the sum of the parts. I do wonder at some of these builders, do they look at creations like this and think 'That's exactly what I visualised').

[DefTrap]

What a nightmare

[Bigjawa]

Bandits make a nice cafe racer. That's not one of them.

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

That really is very, very horrible

[Taipan]

It looks like its collapsing under its own weight and it probably is too!

[Rockburner]

It looks unfinished.

There is far too much brown on that bike, in fact it's probably true to say that the colour brown should never be seen on a motorcycle.

The front end isn't too bad (apart from the brown grips), but everything goes to hell in a handcart back of the engine; seat, subframe, brown frame infills (shudder...), exhaust hangers...

Nope.

[Mr. Dazzle]

Choose common cafe racer mods, throw them together randomly, receive this.

I like to think the grips are actually walnut veneer...

They're brown, so they're cool

[Skub]

Wooden grips?

That wooden do at all.

[ChrisW]

I like to think the grips are actually walnut veneer...

Or hollowed out illicit havana cigars rolled on the thighs of....yadah yadah

[Mr Moofo]

It's dreadful!

[KungFooBob]

They should sit people down in front of a Voight-Kampff and ask them what they think of the baby skin grips.

Just don't ask about their mother.
