Is it me
« on: 17 September 2014, 10:10:45 pm »
Is it me or does this bike look odd, to the point of being ugly. 
May be it's just the paint job there just seems something wrong about it

Think it's just unusual to see panniers without a top box.

The bike looks ok, but the ad doesn't. It was posted 14 days ago and says 'MOT until 23-05-14'. You would have thought it would say no MOT, or the seller would have got it MOT'd. So is it an MOT failure, or because the ad been renewed after it hasn't sold all year? Seems a nice clean bike with all the old MOTs and service history.

Maybe should be 23-05-15 and just a mistake.

The main pic is bad photography.  The perspective makes the bike look like it has been lowered.  Also those panniers are ugly - probably should have taken a shot without them fitted to begin with, then one with fitted later inn the list of photos.

think you're right about the photography Alan. It's making the fairing look lower than it should imo but then it could be the colour of the frame seperating tank from fairing.
That looks much better Daz, more shine
