    Sorry mate but in my opinion that is awful, I would rather walk than be seen on that!!

    It's the sort of thing yanks do to there sports bikes, IE take a stunning out of the factory bike then ruin it.

    I bet its an american bike for sure, amazing piece of art but not for me. Have to admire the skills though truly stunning.

    Ok going by the responses so far I think it's fair to say the owner has done a fantastic job at actually devaluing that blade but as long as the current owner is proud of it eh!

    Carl, is that a promotional thing for a company or is that an individuals bike?

    that is one fooking ugly bike there, yeah sure nice skills, but he should be stoned for painting a bike like that, no matter what the customer wants..... he should have told the customer to stop being a tool and don't wreck a beautiful bike!!!!!!

    looking at the flag on the belly pan, are we sure it's an US bike :confused:

    Amazing skill... and I love the idea of doing a modern take on the classic "Urban Tiger" Fireblade, but from the side its less "Urban Tiger" and more "Attention-seeking Zebra"... bit of a fail!

    Looks like a UK bike, there's a pic with a bike with uk plates on next to it.

    Talented dude that did it, but oh so wrong on a blade in my opinion.

    You would get noticed!.... But I would suggest having a dark visor keeping your helmet on, and not talking to anyone that knows you.
