Is it just me or does it bear more than a passing resemblance to the original gsxr? What a brutishly cool looking bike.

It would look more like the early gixxers if it had a pink windscreen with a Bad Boy Club sticker and pink grips. Needs a Supertrapp exhaust, too.

Don't forget the bandana tied around a mirror stalk.

It looks better in action-

Do you notice the front fender and how it doesn't wrap to far over the front of the wheel?

I wonder if that is for quicker wheel changes OR if it was driven by aerodynamics.  I could see how wrapping the fender too far forward would create more drag by pulling air under it.

Probably just a Gixxer thing to go with the pink windscreen and fluorescent fuel lines.

Heh.  Vermeulen thinks its so ugly he has a DILLIGAF (does it looks like i give a fcuk?) sticker behind his seat.   Bigsmile

I've always liked the zooks but maybe it's just the color scheme.  Can't wait to see Ingrid in one of those girly Rizla outfits.   Inlove

Or if it suffers from air turbulance by exposing more rotating tire to the windstream and allowing a ram effect from the truncated fender.
