i would say that it could mostly be due to the custom script that he used for the honda... my eyes always go straight to that part.

...and the paint... and the tires... and the headlight thingie.   Hey, are we sure this isn't a Norton with a Honda badge?   ;D

This is a tough one....

Can't I just vote for all three?  Cursed's is awesome looking - where can I get those tires?  Spikey's is original, and the craftwork is a marvel to behold.  And I feel like we all got to watch Doug's being born, uttering its first word and taking its first steps.

Doug and cursed1 created awesome machines with bolt on parts.  But the more I look at spikeybike's bike (seems repetitive), the more I appreciate the originality and the the time it took to create such a marvel.  From the custom welding, to the leopard print (which has grown on me the more I see it, your a brave man though) to the spikes, its an original work of art, and something so different that I highly doubt someone will see another bike like it.  And for that, he gets my vote.

I looked over the contestants, considered each one based on my taste and likely design direction, but just couldn’t vote based on that criteria. For me I just love what Doug has done with that CB! My bike will eventually look like his. Cursed1s’ looks like the bike you would choose to ride every chance you could, but I keep casting a long look at Spikeybikes ride. There is just so much going on with that little animal! Touché.
