andy Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I good looking and glad others are looking to "enhance" this niche bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer 2FAST4U Posted May 21, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted May 21, 2016 I'd like to see somebody customize a 7G to look like one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, my opinion only matters to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PirateRiderBen Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I could get into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted May 21, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted May 21, 2016 As much as I respect Aldo's work, I really think he should stick to other kinds of design. Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V4 Rosso Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I like it, except for that rear wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lshark Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 i couldn't imagine spending money on "better" front brakes for the VFR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volfy Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 That headlight is hideous. Fairings lacks the integrated elegance of the VFR1200, looks tacked on, and likely won't work nearly as well as the layered fairing. Plenty of folks might disagree, but I think Teofilo Plaza did a excellent job styling the VFR1200F. These other variants did nothing to improve it. They are just... different for different sake, and weird for being weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I was to obtain any power cruiser, it would most certainly be that Ariel Ace pictured above (that is, if I could get one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just... different for different sake, and weird for being weird. I agree as well. The tailight and especially the headlight are just ugly IMO. Not to mention it's basically a street fighter, and if "The Masses" think Honda mishandled the design brief as is, I can only imagine the derision to this model. Some interesting lines in other areas though. Personally I'll take the Honda design - it's really grown on me over time - so much so I'm looking to trade up on my much-loved '03 model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
