Russ, are you Jealous ?

Its a "Sharky Bike"

[Surt]

i am a russ and i am not jealous! i'll do better :D

[Gitzy]

Top use of parts mrmvman, but not a fan of the colours at all, and maybe for $80000 a different choice of headlight other than the twin dominator/bates overused one (although i have 2 sets of them). Extremely different.. but my tastes still lie with the 40mm carbon tubular goodness..(http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=18548).. but thats me..
I know large posted this but can you or someone maybe post another one of your fighters i'd like to see some of your other work after seeing this they make me interested a little more.. I really cant see 80k in it but it wasnt my wallet so i can't comment, cheers

Well, goin off what mrmvman said on his other posts critcising the carbon fibre bike , I am seriously underwhelmed and disappointed with this one! For £40,000 I would have done a much better job than this . 9 years to build this, you must have had 8 1/2 years off. The colour scheme is a bloody mess, ever heard of the understated look mate? FFS £40,000, you're avin a larfe!!!! Only my opinion?

[Jay_G]

i can just see it being a childs book character and rolling down the street going "RAHHHHH I'm a SHARK, RAHHHHH"

WTF happened when it came time 4 paint??? I guess there is no accounting 4 tastes... I think the rolling gear n old skool 1100 are awesome, but the novelty sharks n shaky paint scheme really kill this one 4 me. Shit u could have Judge 4 around the $60K mark! A much better bike IMHO!

[Gitzy]

Mmmm Judge, [:p][:p][:p][:p] wasnt it up for sale a while back for $55k in motorcycle trader? front page.. i woulda paid that too..

the bike would look tops without all that sculpture shite and its a felony to paint titanuim and carbon parts! [V] leave it to elcheapo steel and fiber glass fuckers ;)

my fellow ruski brother sure knows what he is talking about [^]

after the bagging the carbon bike got from this bloke i was keen to see the 80k mv, i am left bitterly dissapointed. it sure is different but not to my tastes. the carbon bike is right up my alley as is the judge :D

[sharky]

Each to their own and all that, but to me that is hideous.
No constant theme through the bike, just a mass of gawdy stuff.
It makes the Judge look plain and simple.

As for the shark bike above, all I can think of is this:

When they show you the colour pallet at the paint shop you're not meant to say "ok"..

Nice to eat you shrooms off though ;)

[Surt]

thanks lots for compliment bluemk1 [:I] id just like to mention another feature that i liked: presumely sharky hide on the seat/s?/ looking tough but the owner should beware of green gestapo! [:p]

the judge is apparently a well designed and tough built bike but the bloody square unit looks a stranger to me, the bent one would be a go, brown noses [:o)]

bloody square unit


Do you mean the intercooler on the front?

[Surt]

i guess its a combination of a radiator and i.c. that looks like it comes from boss hoss [:p] i liked the 1st variant on pete's turbobusa 713 much better [8)]

Gold gold gold for Sen. LMFAO.

[TurboKat]

So what part of it is GSX 1100 ET ???? The compliance plate ??

[Tony Nitrous]

Im not in the same league as most of you guy's.
My GSX11 and Busa are pretty mild compaired to most on here.
But I do appreciate a lot of what I see, and although to me riding the bike is MUCH
more important the looking at it, its a fact that folk will rate you by appearance.
Bikes like Judge, Venom, that "Turbo Busa trick frame thing in Rapid",
the "Carbon & 40mm Tubular Goodness" bike, my favorite T713, Larges Spondon,
NOSferatu 750 Turbo etc etc I would be proud as punch to turn up anywhere on.

This one, id just be a bit embarrased.
I know my opinion's worth F*ck all,
but i'd rarther have what I've already got.

[80s freak]

I couldn't help but think of good old Jabberjaw.

"No respect, woowb, woowb, woowb, woowb!"
Great cartoon bad theme for a bike.

[80s freak]

Oh and it's not a GSX 1100et engine, it's GSXR or GSF.

[Large]

Sorry mate,

But it appears that no amount of time and money can buy taste.

Maybe Barry Boys have a trophy for it?

[80s freak]

Could get shed of the year on Barry boys.

[Seifer]

I was lying in bed last night wondering what it would look like if a shark fucked a clown. Wonder no more.

:D jay gay leno's? i just feel sorry for the bike, the builder and for 80 gr but one could fuck up even a space shuttle [V] and btw one might expect more for 80 grands a full carbon fibre chassis for instance (i mean if 1 builds a bike by oneself ordering parts elsewhere)

[mrmvman]

i appreciate all your comments, keep em coming k. i aired mine, so it's only fair you air yours, if i can get some of my other fighters off paper and into this page i will, at least you can slag them too, fairs fair right, lol.
the carbon tube thingy, still lacks sparkle, but it's getting there.
reason for shark, bike is called 'sushi' hence fish relations, yes, only reg as gsx 1100 et, to get round noise laws and cheap insurance. motor is gixer 1127 k model. if i had 40 k in my pocket now, i wouldn't have built it now, not as it is, but over 9 years, scrimping around to find dosh to throw at it, end result. regards, mrmvman.

[Surt]

the bike is technically superb mate but why have u turned it into sushi thing :) lucky us its name aint a piece of shite or funny plastic shit slabs were sticked up all around the bike [:0] does shite sparkle? [V]

Ok then if you spent 9 years to get to this point, and stand back and go well that looks shit, whats another year to get it right, get some feedback like you have here and fix the issues, your obviously not overly proud of it to write that comment^^^^^^^^.. but now its in fighters mag for all eternity for everyone to criticize in its current form.. I would not be happy about that. If sparkle is your thing, why waste money on carbon and titanium only to paint over it... sparkle up some fibreglass or abs plastic and save yourself some money.. like some of the boys have said, fantastic use of parts, 1127 merged with an MV, but the theme, shark mouldings and colours destroy it.. now even you realize that..

my 2 cents..

[scotty]

Well it's certainly got "sparkle", are those seat's covered in shark skin????

[alfiestorm]

A tarts handbag. give me judge any day but without the top brace on the swingarm.

alf :D

[davio]

[:0][:0][:0]well at least now i can see why he thinks gitzys masterpiece is no good
i reckon that woman off the telly show "the nanny" would be the go for the photoshoot
