Butt ugly

Looks like a one-eyed Rhino

And what the F*** is £107k all about? For that you could by a Desmo, ZX10, Blade, MV F4, R1, SS1000, RC8, RSV, a Barry Sheene DVD and a few call girls, and still have enough change to take the missus on safari to see a proper Rhino.

David Essex tribute bike.

£107,000WTF ? Its nothing thats not been done before and featured in Streetfighters or BSH's...... For a dam sight less!.... And sticking a load of no7's and a donald duck doesnt make it a tribute.... Should be a David Essex tribute as it lookes like that silver dream racer.

Sheene tribute

What a crock! It's been hit with the ugly stick and although the Spondon frame is gorgeous the rest of the bike is awful! Alarm bells should have sounded at the involvement of Steve Parrish...any 'grown man' who thinks having PEN1S as a numberplate is funny shouldn't be listened to.This is a rip-off and an insult to Barry Sheene who was (at the time) a biking hero and legend. As for a heart-shaped bum pad....who is buying it? Graham Norton or Lily Savage?

Sheene Icon

To be honest, apart from a few tenuous links like using ISR brakes coz Barry was once outbraked by someone using ISR brakes, Suzuki engine for obvious reasons and Spondon as they were involved in his career ( as were Harris by the way ) i can see no real Sheene link.

It all looks a little like a money making excercise rather than any genuine Sheene lineage.... might be a tiny bit more relevance if they used a modern version of one of his paint jobs.

The bike looks awesome i admit but linking it to Sheene ... i don't see it.
