Wow, now that thing looks cool. I can’t believe they built it themselves, I’m rebuilding a VT250 and that’s hard enough without needing to build a new frame, press new CF sheets, front up the cash for a new set of Ohlins, the list goes on. Fantastic job for a couple of guys.

PigIron’s “shock” criticism reminds me of the Czysz attacks last year on kneeslider. In fear of this becoming the “Nay-slider” (sorry paul), I’d like to point out that the world has far more critics than doers. It happens in print – even Parker tore apart Czysz in Motorcyclist – but it’s far more brutal online. Google “cyber bullying”.

Unfortunately, I can’t meet Pigiron out in the playground at 3:00pm. So while we’re online in this evolutionary age of open-forum progression, try to be courteous to the efforts of men who still build tangible things in the real world.

Tell ya what would be really cool… if they extended that swingarm and chromed every visible part. Then put neon underneath it and some speakers in the bodywork. that would be sweet.

Can you put hydraulics on bikes? If you can, they should. How about some kickass valve stem caps? hell yeah.

Seriously though, thats one of the nicest looking bikes ive seen in a while. Why on earth would you put them down for building it?

I read a story on these guys and this bike in a local mag today. They built this thing! I can’t believe some of you guys can seriously compare it to a Gixxer. It’s a custom machine, and it looks great, more power to ‘em.
