Mark, I've seen that bike several times and I have to say, in those Ebay pic's it looks like a Gucci handbag. They don't do it justice. Come on, if i say so, you know i wouldn't unless it were true. That bike looks fantastic when you see it for real. Ok, it's not my kind of thing, all that fancy paint, but the description is right on the money. Paintwork is simply stunning. £25000 might be over the top, I agree, but I bet it cost a bucket load more to build. Twenty five grand or not, the F4 1000 Ago is about two grand cheaper and that's the one I'd buy! Rocket |

Reminds me of some bass boats (speedy little fishing boats often with glittery finishes) I've seen. Lots of go and even more show. |

Doing all that crap to a bike is like what people do for the world of wheels. Why buy something and spend tons of $$$ just for looks? All that paint doesn't mean anything when I pass by it on the side of the road when the driver/rider is crying because they got a rock chip in the over the top paint. What a waste of a good machine... Blake, I was thinking the same about looking like a bass boat, just not as useful. |

Bikes are for Riding Dings, scratches and other blemishes just add character in my opinion. But "What do I know - I am only a Cook!!!!" Hidden Meaning in that one |

Better ask Rog if it's got a pull-shock. |
