Interesting that the race bikes have a different tank.

Yeah you have to look at the profile of the AMA 1000 bikes. You can tell they are not production tanks on there.

If you notice, the tank is all one piece. It doesn't have the separate plastic piece up front like the production bikes.

It's also flatter on top than a production bike.

Bout the ugliest face on a bike ever made. Its like a bug sqwenting. I'd take a buell firebolt XB12 over that and I dont even like those add-on looking faces they have.


O kawi. Where is your head?
