I like it. I think there is definatly some cool things going on there. I don't know if the pictures make the paint look brighter than it is (a la polarizing filter) or if it really is that bright. I've never been a big fan of painting the engine to match the bodywork either but don;t let that snazzy paintwork fool ya - That thing has lesters, a modern front end, billet triple clamps, manx tank, swept back head pipes with cocktail shaker mufflers, aluminum z plates with decent rearsets, and height adjustible and dampning adjustible rear shocks. A lot of work and nice parts went into that bike.

I think the hugger rear fender is kinda neat too.

You could use it to scare your kids into doing chores or something. "Take out the garbage or else that blue Norton will come after you. It will cover you with slime and leave blue-trimmed cast wheels under your bed that will haunt you forever."

For those of you that have offspring that is. I suppose it could work on a niece or nephew too...

Silly Rosko, You don't smear the feces - that is what a high quality glass shitting table is for - you let her do it while you watch.

I'd look at as at least taken care of. I mean, some of the stuff is really tacky as in you and me could never be friends dude, but if I was looking for a bike to do, at least the componenets are there and seem to be in decent condition. But yeah, to ride it as is, would be like dating a fat chick.

My buddy got a screaming deal on a 650 triumph for a similar reason... someone had done it up to look like a harley! Not one bid, he brought it to the shop, we stripped the harley shit off and he made most of his $$ back.

With all the stuff on that bike I don't think you could build a similar one for what the components cost.
