That looks like something Grayson Perry would build

(at 3.5 hours to go it was at £1650)

That was a very cheap bike for somebody !

Definitely needs finishing, with something

Translation of the description at the bottom - love the bit that says “ideally should be dismantled and the frame repainted as it’s ugly”!!!!

A bike with such a bad paint job the first owner didn't even ride it before poking his eyes out with a stick and therefore needing to sell it

Did you watch the video. The music is just as tacky

FIVE GRAND!

For an auld Hornetto that doesn't even look road legal... it's not even got a speedo.

I'm trying to think how that is better than a standard Hornet, I can't think of anything redeeming about it

Yoshimura stickers add at least £2k and 15bhp.

Yoshimura stickers on a Honda, FFS any fool knows it's Moriwaki stickers on a Honda.

Just remembered, I've got an HRC throttle tube that would fit on that Hornet, they could have had genuine Honda race parts on it, I had it on my CB400SF, yep a 60,000 bike commuter bike with HRC parts.

Or Spoon or Mugen

I spotted this the other day and had to slap myself when I started to think it would make a nice little pootler...

They're tiny, you'd look like Bigfoot riding a fake Harley

Was what I said to the proprietor of the Ducati garage when they had one in there when I went to pick up my SFV2... Bear in mind it's just an SFV4 with a gopping paint job, some tacky wheels, and a limited number plaque and a tenuous link to Lamborghini and they were charging people 2.5x the price for them over a normal SFV4 (which isn't a cheap bike anyway!) when new...

Only of any value to anyone who's a Lamborghini nut that's also into motorbikes sadly for the owners... Which as a Ducati fan absolutely grips my shit as it's just a tacky sell out model rather than an actual Halo bike...

So, potentially, a powered advertising slogan? Created at relatively low cost yet generating lots of attention, some possibly from Lambo owners for whom it will cost relatively little - or they might see other models and buy one of those instead.

And bonus payback if they sell any.

Yup

EVERYTHING I hate about modern consumerism, and I'm even more pissed off that Ducati pander to this bullshit... But there we go!

Another couple from the Dungdeal Vintage Bikes listing.

First is a Honda XLR250 Baja, purely for the comedy value of the front mudguard -



And next is an abomination of a Triumph T140 -
