Hmmmm? What is it?
Seen on the show floor at the Cleveland Motorcycle Show, Jan 2010. I'm speechless, so no comments from me. Anyone know anything about this bike? Possibly raced? Didn't have an opportunity to talk to the booth personnel.

I think I saw that same bike a few months ago, some type of marketing deal for Fender Guitars?
I think I might make that front fender mod today.

It's an artistic more than mechanistic makeover.

You beat me to it Haggis. I thought I read or somewhere that is was going to be a tribute bike to the Fender Telecaster and the early days of Brit rock.
I love it since I am a guitar lover. The only thing that I don't get is why oh why whenever folks run open headers they leave the bloody Hinckley bends in place. Lop them off and put in your baffles. Might as well go the whole way and make the headers look like the Meriden Bonnie headers.

At the bike show it was in the Progressive booth, promoting Progressive insurance.
But yeah, as said above, it's an artistic piece, not a rider.

I'd ride it. Anyone know what model number those Ohlins piggybacks are. I've been looking for a set for months & can't find any info on them.

does anyone else find it hilariously ironic that the bike has almost no fenders?
