Customs R18

[Gr8adv]

You would think there would be a market for someone to do it right.

I think that all the time.

Nothing too wild, but I had mine custom-painted in Mercedes-Benz MANUFAKTUR Desert Sand.

One quick and easy paint job away from the parts are so small.

Mine isn't black it's the burgundy color but yes I agree. Wouldn't take much to pull the three tins and paint it just like that one. May do it one day. I have a 2023 kawasaki z900rs the same color combo

I didn’t want to comment while the auction was live. But those wheels just don’t fit the R18 at all.
A set of Kineo tubeless spiked wheels would have been a better choice IMHO.

Agree 100%... I like the wide rear tire with the fat spokes..

Looks like the R18 Fishtail Exhaust was used for this build...

I thought this was pretty interesting...

The R18 muffler is a copy of the original R7 design so basically it is the original

A pity of the language erosion; sign of the times but still sad.

There's one of these at the gateway dealership. Everytime I go in there I stare at it. I would do some very shameful things to get to own one of those
