Fancy a hardtail VTR1000 with fishtail pipes?

Post by TheGingerBeardMan »

For the love of God....WHY?

Although....erm...I must admit...lose the fishtail ends and slash cut the bottoms, and I reckon it'd be mad as a box of frogs to ride.

Something inside me likes this, and the other part of me is reeling a the thought. Lovely to see the motor out in the open though with all that re-arranging of the waterworks.

DISCLAIMER: I am in no way affiliated with the sale of this bike, and as I can't post it in the "look wot I found in ebay/Gumtree" section, I had to whack it here.

Toodle pip chaps! What? what?
If it ain't broken...f*ck about with it until it is.

That it is.

Lost the upside down forks and added those fishtails on the rear. Not forgetting the compulsory can of satin black for the tank.

Looked better in the original guise with the apehangers n all, but still, with a bit of tweeking, could be a cracking laugh!

When I first saw it, I was horrified......but....I've warmed to it. a LOT!

I'd ride it either way. Those blue braided lines on the oil and water look the dogs wotsits!

now.....I WANNA HEAR IT!!!!

ive always wanted to ride that one with the USD forks. looks much cooler in that picture IMO except the stupid ape hangers.

but imagine a cruiser with 110 hp that can go 150mph.... not that i would dream of riding it that fast...
