In some segments of the motorcycling community, that, ahem, item would be the equivalent of a religious caricature :mad: I'd be the first to "torch it". Where's the taste police when you need them?

That bike has an RGV rear, a GSXR/TL forks/tripples/wheel on the front, 6-pots, full exhaust (hard to make out the variety...looks like an ART can), pods and a really clean frame.  Burn it cuz it's got grean paint and yellow hair?

The hardware....no problem.
The green w/yellow...no problem(kinda like a Lotus from the '60s.)
But the friggen "fright wig" :o This is supposed to be a sport bike, not a "Shriner's gimmick"(or is it? :cookoo:)

I think it looks kinda cool...it suits the "punk" image the people try to give these rides (rat-bikes/streetfighter).

Upon closer inspection, it is a GSXR four cylinder; look at where the clutch arm is on the right crancase, the frame beams are too narrow, the valve cover sticks out too far, and gee, that radiator might be a little large for an oil cooler.

^hahahaha

I was sitting here thinking that frame really didn't look right...and the clutch arm and stuff...my screen is too dark to see the radiator, though...

WHEW! At least the GS500 community can't be railed for that monstrosity! Thanks to Scratch for discovering that no GS rider did that to his ride. The details are a little dark on my screen too, although the engine DID look a bit too wide though. But my eyes kept going back to the fright wig (ARGHHH!)

What you're looking at is a genuine oil boiler GSXR... can't tell the size since the externals of the engine are all about the same... Looks like an 86-89ish slabby 750 frame though.. The thing on the front is an oil cooler, no water needed!
