“race replicas” are a logical design that’s at least based on something.

With that said, those are often regarded as gawdy as well - squids dig the Repsol Cbr.

And don’t worry, most of the forum discussions are opinions, it’s all in good fun and just speaking your mind. I would honestly like it if not for the graphics, same with the CBR’s.

Speaking of squids with graphics, shapes what gear you got :tongue
