It always slightly offended me that flat tanks are never "quite" wide enough to safely support a pint glass.

Is that really the best thing that can be said about about the bikes?

I keep finding this one randomaly on the internet.
Its a very high budget version of what I'm tryin to achieve with my 900SS - this one has an 1100 Evo motor, Kevlar tank CF bodywork as well as high end forks, radial brembos, titaniium system etc. ONe of the things I like most about it is the paint job, brings out the best in the shape of the 900ss body.

No matter what you do to a Maggot, it's still a Maggot.

If this didn't have such a ridiculous front wheel and tyre it would be REALLY nice.
