It's supposed to be interesting, not pretty. Bit like me

Found it, it was a Penta 125......

From the era when bike colour schemes were designed to match shell suits.

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.....

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 then

I've got one exactly like this...

Have to say, I concur- I love the idea of it, but it looks a real mess in that pic.
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....

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.

You don't get it?

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

I've got a better two stroke than that.

This is.... different.

Politeness is a admirable trait.

how about a V12 Lambo powered bike?

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

Rutters superstock bike

Needs something doing with the seat/back end, but I like that... I bet it's fricken loud!

Yeah like that
