No matter what bike a person loves to own, ride, show off or put in his man cave as sculpture, that is his choice and good for him. But and this is a big butt, that doesn't make his choice nice looking, well built, super handling, getting great MPG. Doesn't mean any one else finds it a great bike and because nekked chicks are paid to set on them it still doesn't mean they're a super bike. You can love, lust after, fantasize about racing with it, sleeping with it and more power to you. I have just the same rights as you to like some and dislike others and it just so happens I like a lot of bikes you post and find still others not to my taste. No different than you feel towards bikes I like.

So lighten up children and get on with posting photo of bikes.

Now THAT's the kind of communication that I was hoping from this thread!

Regarding the Tornado and all things European that are kick-start: Why is it that the Japanese managed to make a kick-starter look like it was meant to be there. The Europeans make much more stylish bikes but the kick-starter always looks like an after thought.

A Triumph Speed Triple is the latest two-wheeled machine to receive customisation from tuning specialists Vilner.
Click photo at left for more views of the Vilner Bulldog.
The Bulgarian company's latest creation - called the Bulldog - is for a Russian customer and it won't be to everyone's liking, especially Triumph enthusiasts.
The new look started at the front where the normal two headlamps are replaced by a single unit, while other changes include switching the exhaust pipes which are now black, adding new Racing Wheels OZ and the embedding of the blinkers.
Custom leather work on the seat and along the side of the machine mean the Bulldog is unlikely to be mistaken as a standard triple.
