WOW !

I love the look, however the Yamaha needs to go !

Would love to see more of this bike and how the fairings were fitted.

Needs some USD forks etc.

I wonder if Honda had of continued on with the VTR if it would have looked similar to this ?

Of course it would have EFI, bigger brakes, beefed swing arm ( Preferably a Single Sider ) full digital dash with GPS , ride by wire throttle, selectable mapping , slipper clutch, power shift, low mount single exhaust and better fuel range.

Who owns this bike ?

Looks a total abortion.

So would I but they only a couple of pics I found while stumbling around the internet. I'm more interested in how something is done rather than how it looks. It's not too my taste...I'd prefer an SP front end. Looks like this will overheat with the rads covered where's all the hot air going to go.

Up the ass of the person who decided to turn a perfectly good VTR in to that. As it's been said, each to their own and while the skill to do some thing like that is admirable the end result is less than.

This would look brilliant with a decent paint job, removal of the "Yamaha" stickers ( why ?? ) and a USD front end

Hmmmmm, I like it, but as it's been said, needs a decent paint job and those decals removed. tbh tho anything can look decent in a photo, but seeing it in the flesh is something else, more often than not it looks awful in the flesh, also I think the rear seat unit needs to have sharper angles to match the front. good effort tho. my fav still have to be the guy who put the ducati front fairings on. thanks to photobucket I won't be able to find that picture :(
HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!
