It's a minger of a bike. Made in the seemingly disgusting German style of modding.

The normal bits look nice and shiny. It's just what has happened to the rest of it that is so hideous.

Aye just rot at the sight of a british road, good dependable bikes heard no one have out major.

Poor mans CBF500

Talking about each to their own, this is the biggest waste of 748 parts

Better than sticking them on a f*ckin' ducati ain't it

Funnily enough that thing looks like it will do it's intended job (going mentally fast down a 1/4) pretty well... and probably reliably too

Dunno what you are laughing at dizzyblonde, you have same bellypan.

Anyway, CBF rots just as fast. All that end of market are POS. GS is a good bike, it's a big old GS with the ends lopped off it, can't be that bad.
