That's like a big slab of stone. There's a work of art in there somewhere. Just need to peel away the BS.

Nice bike, but there's too many holes. The paint..... I KINDA like it, but the holes NOT

yellowperil 07-03-2012 05:19 PM

No, paint is awful too! and the exhaust wanders around. Just too much of everything., Murdered is the right word

The red parts look good.

Someone just didn't know when to quit.

More is not always better.

More and more, I am becoming convinced that true art is achieved not when there is nothing further to add but rather, when there is nothing further that can be subtracted.

So what's the point of a fairing that's been swiss-cheesed with so many holes?

LakeCleElum 07-03-2012 08:43 PM

I could like it if not for the holes and the exhaust pipe. Pipe looks like it was designed to catch the hook when landing on a aircraft carrier?

WolfeMacleod 07-03-2012 10:46 PM

Funny.. I'll bet if they were on the bumper of a 911, they'd be "speed holes"

Don't I remember a time when they were popular 'round here?

Eh....whatever.

I'm not sure it's any worse than a stock MH900E.

Yikes. Po man replica of Hailwood edition. Throw the plastics away and give it a new pipe. Done.

BlueSkyJaunte 07-04-2012 05:25 AM

Mmmmmm......gold.

Classy. ;)

Didn't I read somewhere where the dorks at Orange County Choppers somehow hooked up with Ducati for some kind of marketing shnizzle?

Maybe this is the result?

No, not enough Maltese Crosses to be from OCC.

Maltese crosses! They never get enough. That bike would be great if you got rid of the green paint except for the tank, filled in the holes, paint the fairing red only, cut about 20' out of the exhaust,
got rid of the yellow around lower engine and the meatball on the tank is not needed.

And if my aunt only had balls, she'd be my uncle.
