Default A "cheapy" bike that looks cool

If you click on the "08 Phoenix R2" link towards the top. Scroll down some and you'll see what he did with the fairings to strengthen them. Not a bad idea although Herculiner gets stiff. I know bedliner from a spray shop will stay soft for awhile but eventually the sun does harden it some. So I'm thinking the heat off the engine would do the same thing eventually. There's got to be something rubbery (like those phone skins) that'll stay soft it's whole life.

Very annoying page, the background music just starts and I had a hard time turning it off

Other than that, I have a hard time getting into non big company bikes, I don't think I will ever consider a hyosung, phoenix, or other off brand bike, just the availability of parts turns me away, add to that they usually seem to need a lot of warranty work. For the money he spent on this bike I bet he could have gotten a very well used sv650 that will give him less problems


The bike looks cool, reminds me of the older generation CBRs

This scares me big time:Thats part of his suspension linkage and its scary.
