Not my cup of tea, but some will possibly lust after it!  ;)

Errrm "The Bogs dollocks!" ? (https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r6mkXgo64LA/XihWy0y6BWI/AAAAAAADZAE/tT4hqtBwOo0BHzSqjzNGPveoSjfiLGdzgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/ferro%2Bdell%2527anno%2B%2B1440x1438-004.jpg)

Well personally I find it a tad “blingy “ but that aside I do generally quite like it 😉🤘

it's ok..ish. but i do hate those fat tyres (sorry ... tires).... and the tread would have you all over the place, so, as a piece of engineering art it's fine.... on the road ... a disaster

Hence my posting of the link. Anything else would have been quietly ignored!  ;)

Bop on, Bill

another bike built by a designer who doesnt appear to understand bikes. wtf is going on with the back end? shocks on back to front and mudguard support going from the swingarm up the inside of the shock onto the guard? it just looks cobbled together, drilling holes for lightness dosnt really make sense if youre starting out with a hefty engine and gearbox, it just makes it more likely to snap off when you use it. and as for the cable operated inverted front brake, how does that operate that hydraulic front brake? seems hellishly complex to build a cable operated hydraulic disk brake on a bike where you then start drilling stuff for  weight reduction. as for the gold, it would look nice if it wasnt so crap! it looks terrible, bobbles on the tyre scream "this bike has clearly never been ridden and thus is just a design exercise..."

don't think you'd swap your bologna single for it somehow. mind with a Panther engine it could be interesting! long time since i've been here. no thumper atm. in fact no licence either, boring..
