Can this be moved to general mayhem in the Dope post?

Specifically LSD

That's some paintjob and it's impossible to see past it to look at the bike itself. Like most,I daresay,the second pic is how I'd prefer it to look,rather than an acid flashback.

Back in the day a mate bought a new Suzook Katana,then sold all the rolling chassis parts to bung the lump into a Harris Magnum. That was one bike which redefined the notion of uncomfortable.

Pretty though and very good at going fast. At the time.

It maybe lovely but I can't get past the gopping screen

[Taipan]

What in the name of crackhead artists is that!

Snot to my taste, the other black and white version looked more like it to me.

I understood that the Harris frame greatly improved the handling of early Suzooks, but could never get past the looks. This takes that 'not get' to completely new levels of 'why don't you just fuck off', though.

In my youth I loved Harris, Moto Martin and locally Spondons despite their challenging looks and riding positions. In fact I embrace challenging looks generally but that is too much for me

Can we have a whip round for KFB to go do his 'thing' on it!

[Bustaspoke]

I think that's the first time I've seen a Harris Magnum & thought it looked ugly

Was thinking more along the lines of £500 +expenses.
Although painting it pink WOULD be an improvement!

Ridden both, it isn't a huge improvement over the big Suzuki, it is a big improvement over a Z900 or MK1 or Mk2 Z1000, the Z1000J is nearly as good as the Suzuki

[DefTrap]

I think they gave it a dreadful paint job so that none of you would notice the really awful seat.

Is that to confuse the speed cameras?
