One paint job I am not considering for my ride:

I just vomitted in my mouth a little. I wonder if the owner wears one of those shark tooth necklaces and a wife beater tank top while riding.

Great googly-moogly, that's an ugly bike! :ph34r:

Hey, it's someone's love! :blush:

It went through eBay a few years ago.

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

I do like the quilted seat. Really.

at least he has enough taste to ride a vfr! I'm gonna assume he is color blind. in his eyes the two tone black may look good lol

Nice muffler though!

Timmy,

Do you have any extra cans of flat black Krylon laying around :goofy:


Regards,

I die a little bit inside when I see things like this.

Here's a similar WTF moment (Incidentally, the person who took this pic tells me that the paint job was rattle-can, and had really obvious runs and marks in it. Ugh.):

We've finally found Aquaman

NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

That's wrong on so many levels. Ugh...

All that time and money spent and that's what they come up with, goes to show you can't buy taste. :( Oh well as long as they like and ride it I guess.

looks better than red.........and probably faster! :goofy:

A blue tiger...oh well, it's better than a wizard holding a crystal ball, Thor, or some other 70's mural subject matter.

Not big on the paint job, but my do you have to "be hating" on my wardrobe?

I think he won it at the state fair...

...and that seat is pimpin'

Wonder what that seat is like for long distance touring...

I wondered who took the seat cushion from my grandmother's couch...

Looks like some student in mechanic-paint school tried to impress his teacher for an end-of-year practical exam!! Wonder what mark he got?!??! :blink:

Can't blame a guy for trying to be best of his class!! :happy:

that's a LITTLE better, I guess...

You would be amazed at what a painter will do to a bike. I took my tank and plastics to a guy. He got flaky for about a month and did nothing. I got mad and complain so he said he would do a "CUSTOM" paint job for me for waiting. 3 months later I got this. And I rode it that way for 1 summer. Then it got repainted. I hated it but I tried. Would have look good on a Harley maybe? But not a VFR.

I agree, the Artwork isn't bad, it just a very poor choice in application, much like the original post pic. Airbrush on sport bikes only have two outcomes, Awesome or puke a little in your mouth, there's really no middle ground.

fugly but you've got to give the painter a little respect for their talents, although they shouldn't have ever done such a thing to such a bike. to each their own
