An interesting take on the R1100s

Found this pic on 'tinternet (selling spoilers) - is this one of the companies selling kits for the HP2s?

Not so keen on the hugger treatment, but overall - the addition of the HP2s-esque tailpiece brings a modernity to the 1100s?

Maybe the S1000R side strakes are a step too far, but on the whole - I like it!

Yeah I saw that a few days ago but couldn't link it so gave up.

As you say, interesting and obviously quite a bit of work gone into it but in my humble opinion they shouldn't have bothered

Vive la difference I guess

Another shot:

I agree - it's interesting but not life changing. Put it this way - I won't be spending my Lloyds bank refund on one

And the shark gill side vents don't suit the bike at all IMHO - I wonder if they serve a useful purpose - additional airflow through the oil cooler maybe?

If it wasn't for those silly gills...

Do like the rear end. The fairing looks unnecessarily complex - perhaps that's partly just a paint effect. Be interesting to see the 'face'.

By all means go for a race replica paint job, but why try to make our favourite tractor look like an existing super bike? Odd. I'm assuming he's not having a larf...

I like it a lot, ok maybe it could lose the gills, but its nice.

I do like the rear but it looks like it was achieved by modifying the subframe hasn't it? Otherwise I'd be tempted to get the rear section!

Going by the size of his chicken strips its very good in a straight line!
