    No front guard, nothing in the back to stop shit getting fired down those open trumpets? It's built for posing like most of them

    I could probably live with no front guard although I think it's dumb and makes the bikes look unfinished, but not even a screen over those trumpets is just stupid

    A lot of their stuff is relatively rideable; some of them even have front fenders.

    That one however, was built as a concept. The post opens with "let us present our latest showbike."

    Personally I'm not all that impressed with the "look" but they did a nice job. Their workmanship seems to be improving over some of their earlier efforts. I'm just not a big fan of the idea of reduced functionality somehow constituting "improvement."

    I think that Bike is a "Trailer Queen / Show Bike"

    Their ain't even a spec of dust on the Chain.

    Just a dust-ring on the Tires where it gets wheeled on and off the sled.

    I like the Brushed-aluminum Velocity Stacks.

    I'd have to agree to be honest... It's OK & all that, but nothing world changing or particularly inspired. And it's effectively an ornament.

    Bigfitz " I'm just not a big fan of the idea of reduced functionality somehow constituting "improvement."

    Pretty much covers it.

    And then Kickaha finishes it off.
    "No front guard, nothing in the back to stop s**t getting fired down those open trumpets? It's built for posing like most of them"

    At least it doesn't have those stupid firestones and exhaust wrap.

    Looks pretty but not practical for up north. No fenders is an automatic pass; Minnesota isn't a desert. If there was a desktop model, that might be fun, but no way would I want this as a real ride.
