I like the third question asked at the bottom, "Do you mean 1600.00?"  ;D

What gets me is the statement "This Bike is not Warrented for New Zealand Roads because of Sharp Edges".  Well, no S%$t Sherlock.  I'd hate to have to "put it down" and have that thing land on top of me...if the accident won't kill you, the BIKE WILL!  :o

The problem is that time spent on the bike is time spent NOT playing Warcraft, therefore time wasted.

Quite possibly the most ridiculous thing I have seen since that thread on why you don't put NOS energy drink in your gas tank.

The sad thing is, someone spent alot of time, effort and money building that thing and really the detail is pretty good, but then you take a step back and...(why is there no throwing up smiley to insert here)

I guess New Zealand never got over the whole Lord of The Rings bit.

And another thought, it would be a real acomplishment to ride around on a $160,000 motorcycle that ensures you will never get laid.

Aren't motorcycles and expensive things generally supposed to have the opposite effect?

It looks better than a 6 series BMW, that's all I can say. ( Slug on Wheels).
What does anyone think about these "strings of pearls" around the head lights of German cars. Pretentious moi?
