Interesting to make the pipes fit that way, but Im thinking its a bit flawed as the heat round the pods (it must have pods id think as no room for an airbox) and the small length of the pipes must mean its down on power. Again with the cut down rear end (you could put those cans under a normal rear end i reckon) and no front guard is going to be messy, typical hipster tho they are often natty dressers so how do they cope with that in the rain? It does have some plusses tho, its defo different and I like some of parts used. Is it a good usable bike, probably not, but they used the OEM tank and got away with it cos black is slimming  |

Again for me the wheels look like black doughnuts.
The shape of these tanks always remind me off a racing bike, it's a very iconic shape in my opinion which is a little hidden on a standard bike.

I like it even though exhausts do look a little strange

I like the logo on the engine side cover.

I like it, agree on the wheels, five spokes or if you're proper hip, then you'd only be seen with wire wheels.
What's verdict on forks and swinger source?

That bike is owned by my buddy George Kassapakis and was built here in Portland OR about 10 years ago. George is also co-owner of See See Coffee, a proto-hipster motorcycle themed coffee shop www.seeseemotorcycles.com/George is a Greek emigrant to the states, and has a long love for 2T bikes. He's also got a TDR, H2, RZ, NSR, RGV ... etc. Nice guy. |

The spacer looks quite big too...maybe 80 to 100mm thick. Another case of cosmetics over function. Jack it right up, but don't want a huge side stand to affect the aesthetics. Bike is probably only suitable for basketball players.

Again even thought and detail put into the spacer just for the photo's.
FFS why don't they spend that time on fitting a proper side stand.

"Bike is probably only suitable for basketball players". But the footrests are so high that he would have his knees touiching his ears! |

I do like it.
I have a 1999 tzr50 tank on my ypvs race bike and i think it would have suited that build,same shape just a bit smaller.

I quite like it really.
I know it's only a view from one side but I can't see any of the pipe on the other side.
This side pipe swoops across to the middle and then into a silencer so you would have thought you could see that on the left pipe at least.
Looks like GSXR forks/swinging arm to me

I quite like it but couldn't get into that riding position now if my life depended on it sadly.

Think those are SRAD suspension parts. Or TLS |

Is it just me, or is there only one pipe one that?
