The head on view with that fairing works so well and gives that "ghost" appearance very well indeed.

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

That's really horrid

[KungFooBob]

It's a bit rubbish.

[Lutin]

It'll be nice when they finish it.

[DefTrap]

I quite like the minimalism.

The blacked out frame / motor / gubbins (and the de rigeur mood lighting) must hide a multitude of horrid though. These sorts of bikes rilly aren't pretty with their kit off as a rule.

[Yorick]

It's shit.

Looks like a patched up crasher.

Maybe I'm not in on the joke,since I don't know what a pac-man ghost is,anyway.

The ghost chase Pac-man around the maze, but when pac-man eats a power pill all the ghosts turn blue and become weak, run away and can be eaten by Pac-man. How that relates to this bike, other than it being blue, eludes me. Does it mean it isn't as good as the original bike? Will it be eaten up by other bikes? Seems an odd message to me.

So, what's going on with the spokes on the back wheel?

I wasn't the only one not in on the joke,then.

I thought that but (nerd mode) I think that the cyan ghost is Inky and I think that's what was intended rather than it being the scared ghosts. I mean I still don't know what that has to do with an R1 with no fairings but maybe that was the builder's favourite pacman, he had a crashed R1 and put 2 & 2 together. <Shrug>

I can't decide whether I like it or not. It seems something of a crime to do that to a 98 but the text says that it had already been butchered.

Gods teeth!
