    Bit like a Dirty, but well built Slapper after a few Pints!

    Ace fun for a few hours, but U wouldn't want to be seen dead with it in daylight hours by friends & family! ;)

    The quality of workmanship has been appreciated but I'm sensing you guys don't like the design, perhaps an orange and black tiger would look better;)

    Looking at the photo's, it looks like a bike show somewhere, maybe Alexander Palace in north London by the ornate curved window...
    Clever bit of artwork, but not the sort of thing you could ride apart from slowly, after all if you got spotted speeding it's not like you could say

    "Nope officer, it wasn't me, you must have gotten me mixed up with another white tiger stripe Fireblade"

    :D

    Joking aside, very clever if it's a show bike or a sponsored bike, but if it's a dude commuting on a daily basis then Section 58 springs to mind..

    If your gonna do that sort of thing buy a Harley not a beautiful Blade!

    So wrong in many ways! Yes the guy seems talented but needs his head looking at seriously

    I am not sure about that, who in the right mind would want a Sports bike named AFTER a Spanish oil and gas company based in Madrid, rather than one by HONDA RACING CORPORATION ;):D

    and we all know WHITE is faster than ORANGE :) :D
