not for me
not into the mummyfied exhausts or shiney engine cases, or all black wheels, too much of the same, reminds me of something i saw in a whitby tourist shop
mind you would be alright on a dark night

I personally LOVE how the tank is extended just that little bit!

Or isn't it?!?

Looks like a standard tank, but that seat looks a bit different.

 
My first natural instinct is to breathe. My second is to evade tax's.

The Triumph Logo is off. Doesn't follow the horizontal line and not quite on line with the curve if that is what they were going for, looks a bit off the bikes lines to me? That must be "Pearl" black really love the color on the tins.

Yeah, I noticed that, too. It looks like he decided to align parallel to the dash instead of parallel to the horizontal axis of the bike. Sort of weird since he put so much thought and money into it. I like the overall quality of the logo as compared to other decal/paint logos, but I think this bike deserves an actual badge, not simply a decal.... just my opinion, of course.

the whole bike dropped, or just the rear?

bold.

dont like it myself,
but its not off the shelf.

for someone else it appeals.
for me it lacks something,
those wrapped pipes are a dumb thing.
and donm't like those too-black wheels.

though it does look quite fast,
for me I will pass.

as it is it just leaves me cold.

This bird has been transformed from a stylin' and elegant cruiser to a wickedly cool bobber. It's a totally different bike now. The wrapped pipes is a bobber thing. This bike lacks nothing but a rider and I wish that could be me. This bird is bad!
