This is not my bike, but my friend Charles’ Bike. All the graphics were done in vinyl to replicate the MotoGP machine.

While I must say it does look exactly like the race bike… it’s ugly.

A+ for effort though!

People will not know that he rode a bike like that.  
They will see the number and might recognize it, but he races with Fiat logos.

Its also not a GP bike 😃  
Might as well plaster motocyscz(sp?) stickers on it 😉

^Dumb logic

Guess I should have put “motorcycle content” in the title for the people that aren’t so into it. Being in the motorcycle forum wasn’t enough apparently.

I’m not saying it does not look like the bike pictured.

I have love/hate feelings for replica bikes.  
I relate them to nascar. You can not buy a similar machine to ride everyday.  
I watch motoGP, and have done so for a while… ever since I watched the movie “Faster”

Its definitely the 1st “test bike” replica I have seen.

WTF does “motorcycle content” mean?  
Just because you post about a bike, in a bike forum, does not mean I have to like it?

Edit: I guess people do like test bikes.  
You can buy a die cast replica.

That one is $595 AUD…

Glad he chose not to replicate this one…

no worries, just posting for a friend

And I believe the the technology that trickles down from motogp to street bikes is a little bit more evident than nascar to road cars. ie: the new R1 and its “big bang” firing order or traction control on street bikes.

True… looks good.

besides the technology from a new monte carlo to a nascar car Vs. r1 and m1 are apples to oranges.

:lol:

Bez’s bike looks good. I love the exhaust… how obnoxious is it?

I have yet to hear it in person, but he told me it is extremely throaty and fairly loud.
