They got the direction of the carbon weave lined up with the bodywork on the left front fairing/headlight surround, but not on the right hand side.

Is there a SWB version? :lol:

It's another of those where the rear wheel looks like it's had enough and decided to leave.

Apart from that it looks uncomfortable but OK. :D

As far as I'm concerned it's a complete irrelevance. Just think what could have been achieved if all that time, effort and money had been spent wisely instead of squandered.

Pointless.

55 thousand bags of sand.

Those Thornton boyos know how to charge and aren't shy either.

Bar the extended swinger,I quite like the visuals. You could buy several great bikes for that money,I can't get past that.

Maybe needs it's own thread. 'You have 55 grand to spend'. :P

£55 grand. :o

I could buy a lot of things for that money,. but this bike would not even make the list.

Seriously it will be fast in a straight line but I doubt it is even seriously competitive as a drag bike. Pure poser.

Eek. Like to ride it once....

I still have unfond memories of how scary the Kawasaki H2 was.
