Let it rip [evil]
I wouldn't kick it out of bed. I dig the 916 swingarm swap, as well as the roadracing-esque exhaust...
I find it no worse than the street-queen bikes that are decked out in carbon fiber everything...
I like that exhaust. Similar to the Road and Racing style, but with an exit on both sides.
I can dig it.
It takes things just that little bit too far, and that can be fun sometimes.
And I've always thought a chrome helmet would be a hoot.
I like the DP/DPM bits
Always liked the Road Racing exhuast, and that's a nice spin on it. Still a bit over the top.
A bit too much? A bit too far?
Check the level of details on this!!! [evil]

before this thread I always thought chrome looked heavy and tacky.
after this thread I know that chrome always looks heavy and tacky.
Son of a, oh but couldn't bring himself to plate the rear spring or clutch slave. Oh yea, had to leave the Ohlins gold. A clear example of to each his own. Son of a ...
How damned hot do those things get in August?
i would hate to see it during the bright day time. blinding!
The problem with this bike is the obvious way in which it is too shiny to ride!

Turns out to be made of silver Texalium.
I like the shift pattern cheat-sheet on the 999 :D
Finish the job, forks, shock, slave, and remove the shell advanced oil sticker.
i sort of like them because:
a) they remind of the silver surfer.
b) you have to appreciate it when you have someone who basically says, "screw it all, i have a idea and i'm just going to go with that one idea all the way to the bitter end." haha
I approve of these bikes ;D

You just can't handle Da Chrome!
;D
Show me a 999.
Damn, that is a face palm. I don't know what was saying 999 to me.
