The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

The midpipe isn't chromed, and nor is the engine block. Same with the inner fairing liner thing.

It seems like people don't like a bike unless it is a black and red sport bike with black wheels.  Or all blue.  Or black and yellow. 

I think it is cool when somebody tries something different.  That bike is different.

How come?

I thought it was pretty obvious with the copious amounts of chrome. Yeah it's different, yeah it's "unique", but it still hurts to look at. Maybe I'm just not "in" with the whole "chrome bling thing". I just don't like it. It's ugly. Period.

I agree, it is ugly. Black is always nice.

The owner took a light-weight, purpose built race replica and added at least 20 pounds worth of chrome to it, likely spending a ton of cash to do so, and then puts cheap-ass tires on it?  That SCREAMS poser.  This thing wouldn't stand a chance as a show bike, because the details (like the tires, the midpipes, etc.) aren't there.

It's not even different - people have been chroming bikes forever; this guy couldn't come up with anything original, so he just chromed the whole damned thing.  Bleh.
