Lots of work has gone into it i can see, but Jesus did they get that all wrong.... a complete and utter monstrosity.

Anyone else seen this ?

Is this the Carbon and gold one ????

If it is don't be fooled. I was at Casoli a couple of weeks ago and saw the preparation of the bike. The carbon tank is not carbon at all It's had a carbon skin laid on to the top of a steel tank and then blended in to the sides with filler then painted. I saw a "carbon" seat unit that was a glass seat with carbon patches laid in to the gell coat and left to show with the glass parts being painted. Same on the fairings etc.

Don't get me wrong, still loads of work and may be someones choice ... just not mine. If your gonna go for carbon, race mods etc may as well do it right.
