Browsing the classifieds for <3k machinery, I came across this screamer. I don't know if I admire it or find it REVolting. What does BB make of it? I'm all for custom paint jobs on bikes, but never seen anything like this.

That’s brilliant! I award the person who did that!

Not only gopping but I'd say they're asking about twice what it's worth.

It's ok, but can do better

Unreal, looks nicely done but I think he wants the cost of his paintwork back on that as well..

If your after a decent bike on a budget, my storm is for sale which is a little less lurid but still pretty bright...freshly serviced , rear tyre is low , crack to side panel but otherwise fairing is mint and unmarked, shes extremely clean & only done 8,000ish miles...£1800.

I see your Lucozade bike and raise you...

Frosties?

You know what, with the amount of love that has to go into making something so ghastly, I'd bet there's a good chance it's mechanically in great order.

If I wanted that sort of bike I'd be very tempted to let him know I'd take it off his hands for a fair chunk off that price if it doesn't sell. Then, when he inevitably can't shift it and takes your low ball offer, I'd respray and de-tat the thing.

You'd probably be left with a cracking example with non-standard paint.

Proof that neither money nor effort (and I'm sure all the examples required a load of both) can buy taste!

I'd like to know the story as to why the biked ended up looking like that? Maybe used in a film or something similar??

That pint job must have cost a small fortune

Apropos of paint jobs, I filtered behind a fully-Rizla'd bike this morning, but the more I looked at the rear light the more I was convinced it wasn't a Suzuki. When I got past it, sure enough it was one of them there Yamahuki Fazers Full Rizla poain & stickers job though, even the Yamaha logo on the tank was yellow.
