Not sure about the headlights, they dont look good but the rest of it looks pretty sweet esp. those underseat exhausts

My thoughts exactly.

It's quite amazing how much time, effort, thought & money people put into creating a one - off bike, then just simply go out & buy an off the shelf headlight unit (with lights that are usually pretty cack anyway)

I like those pyramid stacked light units. Better than most, 2 x 55w projector beams.

To be honest I'm surprised that eBay hasn't pulled the ad - espescially after him stating in it that he's going to pull the auction early to avoid thier fees!

Nice bike though and yes, well photographed.

I remember when I sold the Gaffa Ninja on eBay - I put up so many photos of the damaged parts of the fairing to try to give the most accurace idea of it.
Then when the guy came to pick it up he said that the photos made it look far worse that it was in reality!

That's the Pyramids Mantis... I don't like the look, though it's not as bad as most, but the headlights are pretty good. Not just the usual "2 Ikea spotlights in a blob of fibreglass", they're proper automotive projectors. Not cheap, either.

Stick a bid on and you might be lucky that's how ebay works, I think. I'll get my coat. Taxi.
