Custom R3

Dumb question here maybe. Has anyone ever seem a rocket tricked out more aggressivley as a streetfighter or cafe type. The move towards a tourer is obvious but there could be more possibilties with this machine
Just a thought

Wouldn't you just buy a Speed Triple if you wanted that kind of bike?

The one posted over there at the dot net site is an absolute thing of beauty. I would take that over any custom chopper I have ever seen.....as cool as it gets and crazy arse performance.

"Ludicrous" - Amusing...through incongruity, exaggeration or eccentricity

Weazel likes Ludicrous. I'm something of a 'More-a-holic' with almost everything I do.
Anyone can buy a Speed Triple, "But this one goes to eleven..."

I don't know, I have a 1050 speed triple and the rocket is just load of fun to ride over the speed triple. I have been thinking about selling my speedy and get an older Rocket and transform it to a street fighter.
