I think it's "cool" in the sense that it's got a theme and he went for it. It's fun, I'm sure he enjoys it and that's all that really matters.

Heck, some stock bikes have gone over the top in the past imho...

Those are awesome IMO. Bikes with only 1 or 2 colors are boring, IMO.

I can't stand multi colored bikes (more than three). They look way too busy.

Give me a solid white Duc 1098....with Ducati in black letters.

I agree 100%, opinions aren't worth anything... If you like it, more power to ya... Remember you're talking to a guy who's in the process of tearing down a near mint bike, that many look at as beautiful, and purposefully turning it into something admittedly ugly... Oh, and a guy who's first bike was an aquamarine 500R, with a giant purple stripe.

Is it just me, or does that CBR look like a giant bag of tortilla chips?

That was a purchase of necessity... Not that it was a bad looking rig (minus the Robbie D), it just wasn't my style.
