BACK IN TIME TREATMENT

Post by Skub »

A 'retromod' as opposed to a restomod. A modern bike dressed as an oldie. A GSXR1000 K7 as a Slingshot.

It isn't as bad as I thought it may be.

I quite like that, it looks more like the 400 Slingshot than the 1100

That looks ace - I'd much rather have one of those than the original.

The number on the rear unit looks a bit daft, though.

Fairing is Slingshot, Tail unit looks more like a H Slabbie.
