Nah, it's just got the underseat 2 gallon tank I think, there's an extra 5 gallon one in there. I just think it looks great with the V4 there, just winking at you. I love this.

It's kind of horrific. But in a good way. I'd rather walk, personally, but I can see the attraction. I'm sure there was a pan-euro engine in a trick framer in streetfighters a couple of years back...

You could do something really interesting with the basic ingredients.

Well the guy who did this lost 200lbs off the bike, taking it to about 430lbs. It has an engine that makes 117hp with 85lb/ft of torque. It also has a 22 litre fuel tank. If honda made a bike like this with epic touring range, impressive torque and good horsepower that looked better and was sportier than the current st1300, I'd ask to be immediately signed up! I'd take the fairings off, stick a decent light on the front with a removable touring windscreen, put a relatively high rear subframe on that could still accept panniers, that would almost be the perfect bike for me.

I'll shutup about this now, it's just been playing on my mind all day.

Which is modified but in its normal place, under the seat, this is the same design as the ST1100 had

I think uit looks ok, needs a little finishing but it could definitely look good.
