That is one seriously-good-looking bike!

Not sure about the price though??

No doubt he/she is chopping it in for a HP2.

Now that looks v nice indeed - in fact it's the first 12S where a bellypan has looked right on one imho.

You're right there!

Where do you start?

Easy to spot are;

wrong cans;
wrong bellypan;
red line too deep
wrong head protectors
silver frame

...no wonder he's selling it!

I think you're being a touch too critical

It is a stunning bike, all the same.

...if you want to copy something ; you have to do it right...

...BTW...
...for 2008 the VH-racer has red wheels (looks better IMO)...

...and the custom made Laser, is a full Akra now...

Nice bike - The Van Harten bike has got loads of mods - some so suttle and others not so.
How he spent 15 grand though is beyond me.

I like the way the checquer plate is reflecting off the belly pan - makes me want to get a sheet of it and hammer out a belly pan in nothing but checquer plate...

...the belly pan for 2008 has a touch of red, BTW... (no pictures yet)

...I know ; the picture is a bit crap...
...but this is the racer as it is today...

...took the pic yesterday at the F800GS / F650GS introduction...
...the 800GS is a good looking bike BTW...

...just to remind you ; this is the 'replica'...
