Unique? Put bright orange rearsets on it or something, anything but those lights and the gills - looks like a shark that got the crap kicked out of it

The gills look awesome, imo.......I wish they were on both sides

is that their idea of a rat rod? you know grab whatever parts you have laying around and put it all together. different headlights just adds to the rat look right?
without the lights and the "shark gills" on the side it would look decent. Lots of angles though. Although that seems to be the norm now days.

Ok I have to cop to riding a bike for how it rides not how it looks. I would love to know the price point this going to come in a,t and what it looks like on a independent dyno.

The green is not pretty in my eyes but All I need to look at is the dash and over the windscreen

id give it a year or so. Im betting they move so slowly that they do a redesign and start kicking them over cheep

I'm not concerned about the looks...I'd be more interested in the performance too.

Dave · 05-11-2009, 06:09 PM

alright, ive found a few other pictures and im gonna retract some previous comments. still a little awkward looking but i understand the look better now and its growing on me a little bit. def mad about the dash though. thought there was supposed to be a full digital layout but that doesnt seem to be the case

Looks oddly like a cross between a Honda..... with small hints of Kawasaki and Yamaha in there....

I'd definatly rock it.... but the headlight thing is still odd....

Homeslice · 05-11-2009, 08:35 PM

The dash is pimp. I'm not sure you'd want a full digital anyway.........the one on the RC8 is all-digital and that thing can hardly be read at all in daylight.
