Cool paintwork, but that's about it. Looks like something's run up it's rear. Yukko!

Hah, not mine ... found dit on a German Website.
I like the VFR wingarm & the blackframe & what seems to be an R1 front end. Other then that it's not my cup of tea...

Yeah I thought the swingarm was a good look, was wondering if it was an R1 front. Don't like the black framework though and the black radiators don't do it for me either.

Hopelessly German street. Typical typical.

Origin of those "up" tails came from wheeling, which is integral part of streetfighters riding, then it became fashion and stuck to all German streets.
Ugly, truly ugly. And shame on Triumph who partially picked up on it with that ridiculous rear end of new Speed Tripple...

French and Italian aftermarket designers manage to stay away from this despite their riders do just as much wheelies.

I also like the single sider rear, the USD forks and may be the exhaust, but thats about it for me. Mind you I admire people who like to be different and if thats what they like so be it
