and what mods?
look at that exhaust!
all i can really tell is the rear fender is a bear claw, yes?
custom crashbars?
based on the size of that engine (and the shape ... you know i'm not
technical, but the sideways cylinders) - is this a honda valkyrie?
did this guy try to imitate a victory to make his bike like this? is
this futuristic style the next big thing?
i think it's cool but i prefer retro

Unfortunately.
That thing's on my list for "Worst-Looking Bike Of All
Time (Factory Stock Div.)."

thanks all
i'm kind of amazed it's stock ... the "suits" at honda thought it
would have mass appeal? oh well
do you dislike the other future-wanna-be bikes?

I didn't like the Victory when I first saw the photos, but
I finally saw one "in the flesh" a couple of months ago and
have to admit it looks a lot better than the pics would
lead you to think. I could tolerate it (a lot more than I
could the Rune, at least). Yes, it does look like some
kind of strange three-way interbreeding between a
Harley, a Gold Wing, and one of the aliens from "Independence
Day," but I have to admit that it does work - sorta.
