Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

**Hellgate** · 10-07-2008, 08:27 PM

So let me preface by saying I've seen this bike several times around the campus of work and I've said to myself, "Self...that is really a unique bike. The owner of that bike really put a lot of time, care, love and money into his bike. I wonder what the hell it is???"

So today I walk out at lunch to head downtown and what do I see??? IT! There IT is. Damn...that is all I can say is damn....

^^^ Note the cool dragon/skeleton/dinosaur "artwork" in the fairing. There is a demon on the top of the front fender too. Cool and bad ass...

Now luckily for the forum I happened to have my camera and with that I grace the FZ6-Forum with well, perhaps the most butt ugly motorcycle in existance, note that I did not say history, but existance.

Remember, the owner of this bike thinks it is cool.

Oh...this guy obviously knows how to ride like a "demon". Note the tire that is beginning to flat spot and the 2 inch chicken strip. All I know is that if you have the B@lls to ride a bike like this you at least better be able to throw down in a corner.

Thank goodness the FZ was there to make up for the puke vibs that the 1998 HONDA CBR600F was giving off. As much as I hate Honda even I felt sorry for this bike. Damn... And to think that I was embarassed about my 1/2" chicken strips, gee whiz Wally.

Good eye! Did you notice the "stuff" that the brake lines are covered with? Home Depot Special here.

**Doorag** · 10-08-2008, 06:44 AM

I wonder what the three red switches on the top of the right fairing are for?? Maybe the ejector seat, oil slick and smoke screen??

**sportrider** · 10-08-2008, 07:00 AM
