wtf is that thing behond it?, imho on the blue zuki the pipe looks out of proportion

One pothole and the guy will ride his behind on the back wheel , that would be funny   

well it's a great looking street fighter

I think its cool.. Needs a rear hugger but I like it 

God, that's fugly.  Obviously he's not a real rider, there's nowhere to put your luggage.   

are these good bikes?  other than there not a gs  maybe it will be my move up to bike..oneday

Yes. 

I'm looking for a second gen 650.   

Good concept, poor execution.  The rear subframe needs to be redesigned for the short length, not just chopped off.

No doubt.  Can you say no trussing?  It is badly in need of *something* in shear between the upper and lower subframe rails.  On the other hand, it probably rides like an old Schwinn.  You know the ones type, it has a big wide seat with 4" long springs underneath.   

Ahh well, what can you do?  Buy 'em a dremel and send 'em to school.   

I'm a real fan of streetfighters...but that SV1k is just...criminal..... 

ie...naw, I don't care much for it.. 

I dig it.  As said, a rear hugger would sex the thing up.

The blue bike is bleh...because of that pipe...and mostly because he spent money on it.  Had it been free, yeah.  I tdoesn't match the bike at all.

Coming from a SV1K rider, I think it'd look alright if the owner just cleaned up that subframe a bit.
