It's a no from me as well,it's well made but it just doesn't work for me, the engine looks too big, the tank too small, the seat just wrong.

At first look I kind of like it.
But I hate the cockpit, everything squashed down below the top yoke but then the key is stuck in the middle.
The exhaust is black except for the y piece in the middle and there's another few things that distract me.
Over and above that though, it looks like a God awful riding position

Reservoirs doing my head in, it's like they said, Ohh they nearly fit there, chuck 'em at it. It wouldn't of taken very much effort to machine the top yoke so they fitted properly. Apart from that and the seat it's alright

Re: Muscle Bound – Blacksilver XJR1300
Ha - good point!
Have to say, I quite like the idea with those reservoirs although maybe not the execution. Of course, they always need to be at the top of the system which leads to some of them sticking out like the knackers on a bull dog. The way this bike has 'em is quite neat (well it would be if they'd done it right).

Re: Muscle Bound – Blacksilver XJR1300
God no! Where to start? WTF are those front mudguard brackets. If that wasn't eye insulting enough there's the colours of gold, yellow, red and silver, its like a spillage in a glitter factory. I'm sure there's more but I bailed on looking thus far...

Re: Muscle Bound – Blacksilver XJR1300
Gimme a set of proper mandlebars and I'll have it.
Seems like a lot of money spent,but the style is a bit 'individual'. It isn't a horror pic tho...

Re: Muscle Bound – Blacksilver XJR1300
Nope.
Bars too low, likely uses the riders thumbs for lockstops, pod filters, and that front mudguard just isnt.
Straight shot from the rear tyre to the pod filters as well.
