What, even with the exhaust headers in that condition?

Yeah because they're used, rather than abused. Headers discolour, I'm fine with that

I’m not a huge fan of some of the projects that have popped up, but that is pretty damn nice!!

Bonkers, I like it.

They should have started with an HP2 Megamoto as the base bike, then it wouldn't have all the telelever stuff spoiling the lines.

If the seat was a jacket the owner would tarmac my drive and the pod filters look like they'll get wet and knacker the fuelling but the rest looks ok.

Don't mind pod filters in some form of airbox but just not a fan of them where they can get wet. To me its just lazy.

May be ok with a headlight of some sort but as it is meh

I like that. I'd tidy up the front brake line routing though.

Is that a Duc 999 back box? I like it a lot, but hate the colour scheme, but then I hate all colour schemes. Now, debadged and all in black and you could probably sell it to me!

Looks like 999 to me too. But must admit i didn't look in depth after.

As an overall concept I like it, but the finish is not to my tatse

The colours and the whackiness of the paint/decals are part of what makes it for me. It's different it's "oooooh jeez i've not seen that before"

I like the paint scheme, what I don't like is the pod filters, clocks/headlight area and the exhaust.
The pod filters look like something from a Foden truck, and it would look better with a plain black airbox under the seat.
The clocks area, I'd prefer something like RD350LC clocks and round headlight, or maybe keep that headlight and fit a tiny speedo and idiot lights
The exhaust, low level, twin short cans, one each side.

This all sounds like I don't like it, but I do, I'm just listing the things I'd do differently.

Looking at it's power and weight figures, they're very similar to my 1170 Kawasaki, though I bet it handles better.

And considering it started life similar to this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-R1200R-2 ... Swmo1fghAc the modified bike looks loads better
