Thoughts?

 

Noooooo! Black.

 

Yuck! I preferred the standard all-red one.

 

CT says...

Looks like a modern day glitzy ice-cream van colourscheme.

I like everything but the silver bit on the fuel tank.

 

At first I thought it was duct tape.

 

Yup, very nice. But that looks like a bit of gaffer tape.

 

Gash.

DING!!!

 

Nah, they ran out of paint.

 

I thought this might be a pasta, or even PASTA thread.

Don't be fusilli.

 

It's presumably a stylistic reference to the original MHR
with the unpainted stripe on its fibreglass tank,
which acted as a fuel gauge.

 

Wha? My MHR never had an unpainted stripe. Or if it did, I never
spotted it.

Was it designed by Tortiglioni?

Not an MHR, that's an MHG[1]

[1] G for genuine.

That's not a Mike Hailwood Replica, it's a replica of Mike Hailwood's
bike. This is an MHR (like what I had) -

Of course! I blame Eiron for saying "original MHR" when he presumably
meant "MH's original Ducati".
