From the era when bike colour schemes were designed to match shell suits.
Even bland can be a type of character

God I loved the CBR in this scheme, just missed one a couple of years ago for 800 quid.....
My RGV was like this, considering the amount of Class As I was necking at the time I though it was very classy.....

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
I bought one in that colour scheme in 2003, I paid about £1k for it. It was stolen in 2007 from my daughter's house in Middlesboro but it looked different by thenBigjawa wrote: Sun Sep 20, 2020 8:42 pm God I loved the CBR in this scheme, just missed one a couple of years ago for 800 quid.....

Have to say, I concur- I love the idea of it, but it looks a real mess in that pic.weeksy wrote: Sun Sep 20, 2020 7:25 pmThat's bloody awfulDruid wrote: Sun Sep 20, 2020 7:23 pm

IMO, Hipsters don't want highly tuned smokers, and people who love highly tuned smokers don't usually want tractor tyres on them or hipster gold all over the place either- They need to sack who ever does their marketing and the old giffer or hipster wannabee that "styled" that and employ a young gifted Italian....

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
I don't understand why anyone would want sub optimal tyres on their bike. For me tyres are about grip/longevity. If the balloon or tractor tyres people put on hipster bikes work then fair play, but surely they can't? My mate has knobblies on his 690 Enduro cos it's an Enduro, the tyres def are a limiting factor on the road so don't know why you'd do that for a hipster bike.Tricky wrote: Mon Sep 21, 2020 1:39 pm people who love highly tuned smokers don't usually want tractor tyres on them

Put simply, Hipster bikes are not about riding, they are about being seen. Form over function 100%

Basically just ride it through tunnels and you're pretty much done.
