It looks like the guy threw in a roll of toilet paper to go along with his piece of crap.

I love that guys listing: "THESE BIKES WERE KNOWN AS "GIANT KILLERS"....FAST....EATS CB 750 KZ 1000 FOR LUNCH"

That piece of crap couldn't eat a ham sandwich for lunch.



It's a rare custom street build,  done right in the living room. What is going on with those bars?



They look anti-ergonomic.

  There have been tests done that show one is more likely to get  into an accident on a dark vehicle.

bright color vehicles tends to get into more tickets??? especially the red ones cuz they're 10hp more powerful???  ;D

Absolute rubbish. Everybody knows Candy Bacchus Olive is the fastest color ever created.
Honda knew this.

I posted this earlier.  My black bike is growing on me. It will never look clean, so it takes off any pressure to clean it. I might have just touched up the paint instead of painting the whole tank, but it came that way. I think I pounded and black  primered one of the side covers that were consistent with the existing structure.  Not unlike a tin lizzy, It's the a default color you find on used black bomber tanks.

So is that the two part paint that comes in one  can?

If not, is it fuel proof?
