Me too. Not my sort of bike generally, but it looks quite cool.

seat looks hard core dont it! So do the brakes actually! shocking

But it looks like one of those bikes that make you look bloody good when your sat on it. Open face helmet, flying goggles and a long leather trench coat wouldnt look out of place :smt003

its not the colour its the effort thats gone into it and the general shape .. tank, sidepanels, exhausts ..it looks wrong.. the gpz550 otoh looks well thought out. flames are a bit gay.

i think the second one could look mint with a little TLC and a few hundred spent on it. for some odd reason i like both of them. i think the first one would benefit from a wheel makeover and the second would look cool with chrome round the rims.
