That actually is a photoshop

Any evidence to back that up?  I agree that it's very unlikely to be a photoshop.  I'd put money on it being real.  All the little reflections are pefect.  Just the reflection on the floor would be almost impossible to photoshop well, let alone perfectly.

I assume it's a display piece somewhere.  It's up on that display table thingy, and you can see the rope around it.  the real question is, why?

we need an I'm With Stupid smiley.. But I agree with aaron and Alpha.. the reflections are too good.

Reflections too good?  In all reality that shot may be real but I've heard from legitimate sources that it is not.  It's actually been floating around for a while and no one can confirm it to be real.  But you guys really are "out of the loop" as far as what computer artists can do.

I don't get it.. what's that supposed to show? I don't see how that picture shows that the first is a photochop?

that picture was done entirely by hand.  It shows "shadows and reflections" to b completely moot.

it's a real bike with trianuglar wheels like that. as mentioned before, is a display model... why you ask? extremely simple: to attract attention (tell me if it works)

where is it at?

that picture doesn't prove anything...it looks like what it is - a sketch. btw, i make a living doing computer graphics. the only possble way to make it ultra realistic like that would be using 3d but it doesn't look 3d either. it looks too realistic, period. if anyone can prove that it's a fake, i'll be shocked...in fact, the first one to prove that it's fake, gets $10. 

lol...no the pic isn't supposed to prove anything except that stuff can be made to "appear" realistic...and it doesn't require 3D models.

I've just heard it called fake from people I trust...whether it's real or not I could care less...but the first person who can prove it's real can have Jetswing's $10, too.

i was talking about using 3d for the bike picture not bruce willis pic. 

and yes, the figure in the picture look like bruce willis but it's not photorealistic.

So was I.

fine, if anyone can prove it's fake, without a reasonable doubt, you get my $100.

even if the best of the best graphics artist drew up a triangular wheel in photoshop, i would be able to tell it's fake with my eyes closed.

....listen....real or not.....fake or not....photoshop or not....all that matters is that it's got UPSIDE DOWN FORKS....(USD for those now confused).... ....






















I'll just take that $100 please....

Exactly.. obviously the BW picture is not a true photograph. What I'm saying is the kawi bike is NOT a photochop. Nobody took a picture of a kawi on round wheels, and photochopped in the triangular wheels, then lowered the bike so they touched the ground, then photochopped the reflection, and raised the reflection, and added all the right reflections and gleams to the new rubber, etc...

Yeah, has anyone thought that it just might be a piece of art? 

well, piece of art or not, now the debate is on hold.

I'm moving hosts 

never call a kawasaki a piece of art
