Ground barking (sic) CNC programming? Not exactly the stuff of time served artisans i guess.

Clear rear wheel and a white and green paint... not all that great, what good is a clear rear wheel any way?

now this is ground braking...

ground breaking?

it looks like they just did a gsxr750-1000 tail swap and did some homo plexiglass hub....oh uh,,,and a new paint job!

I cant wait for them to hit a bump and that rir rim just shatters...

Shred,
You will wait along time, that rear wheel is years old and has been legal in Germany (very strict on road worthiness of bike bits done by the TUV test labs in Germany VERY picky crowd for sure) for at least 5 years.
You guys do not get many streetfighter mags from UK but the german scene has been around longer and is far more engineeringly radical than the chrome long swingarms than the Cali & florida Homeys do

I like the bike. I'd pick a different color, but it's a nice departure from the normal blinged out Hayabusa. It has a gixxer 1k tail swap, a clear clutch cover, a single sided swingarm, and the most obvious mega-expensive clear wheels. I think what was ground breaking was the collaboration of Suzuki, LRG, and 2Wheel Tuner magazine in putting the bike together. Like Jason Britton said, it's clean and a bit futuristic.

Bucket the link that you posted was also futuristic, and I've seen that before on a custom motorcycle competition show. The next step in motorcycle technonlogy is going to be like the bike in the last Batman movie. The engine or engines will be in the wheels and not in the frame of the bike itself. I checked that out on a show (I think the History channel) that they did on all the technology in the movie.

1. Not a fan of Busa's
2. Custom paint is useless when I want to go fast
3. ....I don't have a third reason.....

I will applaud their skills though.
