Yeah saw that the other week...nearly went to post it but wasn't sure that it was deserving of such infamy. Can't remember what it cost, but nearly considered buying it for parts :D
Understeer - when you hit the fence with the front of the bike.
Oversteer - when you hit the fence with the rear of the bike.
Horsepower - how fast you hit the fence.
Torque - how far you take the fence with you.

It's still up for grabs if you've got your $4K ready mate. :lol:
I'm all for ingenuity and weird stuff but surely it would have been easier to buy a Super Ten. :shock:

Agreed! I don't get the point either.

I love it ! Would have gone for the full on crosser look with full length front guard & fitted some suitable side panels myself. A bit more time getting donor panels to fit (rad covers look hideous) & that could be taken seriously surely ? 8) Imagine the power wheelies with a massive rear sprocket fitted. :dirtbike:

Terrible. Just terrible. Tank stands out like the proverbial, & wouldn't it be rather heavy?

:shock: Having ridden a supermotard in a muddy race unless they bury it, it will still look as bad as it does. It would also be the only bike not hosed down lol. The idea is there and I do still love a supermotard but it does need a lot of work to make it look good. Also wondered whether a single disc such as he has would be enough stopping power, and if its cable tied on as the rear looks to be maybe you wont be finding out!

That's just wrong and makes me want to cry. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

I disagree with all of you, there`s nowt that souldn`t be done when it comes to modifying motorcycles, it`s the personalisation of bikes and the engineering that goes into it that interests me the most. :wink:
The steering arrangement is `different` to say the least, wouldn`t mind a shot on it actually just to see how it felt.
Mind the coolant hose routing really is bloody ridiculous!

Just saw some pics of the dakar rally and in amongst them was a shot of a few bikes and one without a tank looking very much the same as the TRX PIG... :o So do Yamaha already make TRX PIGS???? :? being ignorant to what else is around me... :)
