Although I'm not overly keen on the flame effect, the silver does tie in nicely with a silver engine. A lot of bike for the money again, but I wonder how reliable it would be with that kind of tune-up? At least the seller is sensible enough to realise he's not going to get back what he spent on it!

Done properly - which a Farnham tune would be - it would not be an issue.  Possibly even more reliable.  The power comes from improving gas flow and making the motor more efficient.  The bottom end is strong enough to take it, no problems.

My own motor makes around 140bhp and that's without flowing the heads or dialling-in the cams.  Sound as a pound. :)

The seller of the Blue one is called Lukeslaya, do you think he thinks he's better at modding than Luke Devilsyam???


Just a thought

 I don't see how failing to appreciate a dogs dinner makes me a stick in the mud. I'm sure most people don't think those machines look as good as a standard Fazer which is why most owners don't subject their machines to ugly toffee wrapper paint jobs and lazy anodising (only doing the bits that can be unbolted with minimal hassle,-lazy) I won't comment on the fairing, its naffness speaks for itself.
 Someone said 'each to his own' which is true of course and I didn't dispute that, but doing your own thing has no automatic connection with good taste -or lack of. Bikes for chavs.

Bolt on anodised bits is one of my pet hates too.

If you don't like the look of it the easy answer is 'don't do it to yours' instead of 'sod it I'll just slag it off'.
Not my cup of tea but can appreciate the work gone into it.

It was more fun to slag it off.

How can anyone can think those bikes are tacky, dogs dinners & in bad taste when there's things like this out there?

Those of a sensitive or aesthetic disposition should look away now!

 :eek

Apparently it was won in a raffle, I can only assume it was the booby prize.  :D
