I quite like it too, in a 'wouldn't want to own it or ride it, hate the mirrors and it'll be stupidly loud' sort of way. It's nice enough to look at on a screen. :thumbup:

Much as I deride the exhaust, I do have acknowledge the fact they actually used a pipe bender.

I don't know the donor bike... did they bend the frame to get the exhausts inside that vertical tube? or is the frame that wide (and kinks in at the top) as standard?

Fork and body colours paint clash badly for me, but, unexpectedly, I like it. Yes, that exhaust is going to cause problems, and hearing loss, but you could point a joint in it with a hidden internal baffle. If the battery is in the seat unit, and I'm assuming it is, I'd worry about the heat right underneath it?

So, i'd get the baffle done, bung some side panels on and paint it black. Job's a good un! :thumbup:

They actually gave the bike away in a draw. I was tempted to enter, but I missed the deadline anyway. Plus shipping it from Aus and registering it might be fun.

The colour is Porsche Riviera Blue by the way - that's what I actually wanted to find out, 'cause it was bugging me :D
