I used to work with the guy who is selling that. It is a quality piece of engineering.

It that a blunderbuss on the side or does it shoot paintballs?

Utterly hideous! :spew:

Undoubtedly, it will appeal to pubescent males, as a source of bedroom wall wanking material.

Or even to someone who wants to compete?

It was built for a purpose, not to look nice.

In terms of the latter, it's most certainly a resounding success! :eyebrows:

It would've looked better if it hadn't been given such a garish paint job. All black (or maybe silver), I could just about tolerate it!

Some people could argue the same about Technics SL1210 Mk5 with blue LED lighting.
Very mid-teen pubescent (in some people's eyes). :ner:

In terms of engineering, a lot of thought and skill went into developing the bike to be one of the best at what it does.

WOW what a machine.

Go to any dragstrip on the right day and you'll see dozens similar to this or even more spectacular. 'Top fuel' bikes are the ones, over 1000bhp and topping 200mph in six seconds.

Check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxKvHaKFIR0 With the sound turned up loud! 5.88 seconds to get to 220mph!!!
