Ah well, that depends upon what point in the fashion circle you are  , a few years ago white/pink was considered cool now its girlie. thats the problem with bling, its fashion and only in for a very short period of time Any mods are always a matter of taste but I actually quite like seeing bikes with a minimum of changes, an R is a wonderful, special bike not a mass market R6 but its each to their own anyway you probably wouldn't appreciate my current restoration project which is where my spare cash will be going . I'll end up with something that will be rare, very special and different it just won't have topless model calendar appeal |

er, its not a ducati though but here ya go , 1 of 98 remaining Montjuics, based on the formula race bike, high comp pistons, high lift cams and with a full 105 dB exhaust as standard honest mr MOT tester, oh and no indicators or mirrors either, can I have the certificate please . Not bling, far from it in its current state and its going to take some work, last time it ran was 1992!! stored in a barn and with almost all its original parts.  when its finished it'll look like this  Like I said, each to their own, it won't appeal to many but it does me  |

that photos an SFC which I have a very strong yearning for but can't afford  , I found an SFC replica but at 12000 euro out of my price range.Monty's are quite cool although in Laverda circles not considered by some to be as good as Jota's or 750's, sad really when you consider how rare they are with only 125 made, 98 of which are left according to the expert on them and the performance they had. that little 500 was good for 120MPH although a 500 SL was maybe a bit quicker. I was very, very lucky to get it, a close friend of mine who has owned it for 23 years but doesn't have time to put it back together kindly let me have it. |

having restored many 2/4 wheeled vehicles to standard trim, mk1 Mexico, Mk2 Mexico, RS1600i, various LC's & YPVS, I can appreciate anybodys dedication and passion when executed well Me, I appreciate everyone has and is entitled to their own take on what is or isn't an acceptable/suitable modification, I never consider myself to be a higher authority on someone elses project If its your bag, then it's ok with me ! always like Laverdas & Guzzis myself, 'cos they are different but I was proud of my R6 always got complimentary comments from those who took the time to look at it, quite a compliment for the Belgarda Yamaha Team to use it on their Hospitality Suite I am sure you would agree !! Each to their own ! that's my take on it but I ain't wearing pink no matter what you say....LOL |

yeah, it is each to their own, luckily biking has loads of choices and options or me might all be riding Harley's , please don't get me wrong on bling as both my 999 and multi have been modified, exhausts, carbon, etc but the most important thing is they are there to be ridden and at times I wonder whether the big custom projects lose track of this with the bike being more important than it being used Pink will be back, it was last year in mountain bike dh and dirt jump |
