Re: Ebay 'WTF' bikes
It's basically a sound bike, but the builder has gone completely overboard on the red tat. I mean, he's even painted the shock body and compression bottle red! Take all the red shit off (brake hoses, calipers, clutch, rim tape, shock etc.) and leave just the frame red and it would look much better.
And get rid of that stupid 'Edizione Speciale' bollocks.

Ducati would have been fine if they'd just stopped working on it 6 months sooner.

Re: Ebay 'WTF' bikes
It's an eyesore as it stands, but it's redeeemable. But you'd need to reverse all the builder's 'improvements'.Potter wrote: ↑Mon Apr 01, 2024 10:41 pmI think it looks horrible even if the picture was in black and white.mangocrazy wrote: ↑Mon Apr 01, 2024 5:50 pm It's basically a sound bike, but the builder has gone completely overboard on the red tat.

Re: Ebay 'WTF' bikes
I do wish ebay would just return results that have the search terms in the title of the listing, it;s been getting worse lately.
Literally the first result...

And it gets even more random if you start excluding keywords.

I know I'm probably wasting time and effort but I give them one star once a day when I do a search and tell them why.

Has this lovely £10,000 bargain GT550 been on before?
Comes with a bonus pic of your mum in her drawers.

I think I've seen/heard of something else similar. There's something perverse about putting car engines in bikes....JackyJoll wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 12:16 pm https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/135032652014 ... media=COPY
