GSXF 650 on Superbikes

[oldgangalee]

Superbikes had an episode dedicated to Rat Bikes in Oakland, CA. One of the bikes that was transformed into a Rat was a brand new GSXF 650.
I couldnt find any pictures of the bike from the show ... but a quick search gave me these "beauties":

Are you talking about the lil part where the guy brought his bike into GODSPEED and it did the RAt My RIde? That was a Aprillia not an GSX650F

I just watched that this morning i had it TiVo'd from last night

Yeah, definitely an aprilia, although it did look like a GSXF until they did a close up.

I'd rather have the aprilia, I think. I'm not so enamored with the 650.

What i need to find around where i live is a bike shop that has a waffle breakfast and beer...just without the fighting motorcycle gang.

If I understand correctly, people are bringing there bikes into a shop, to transform into rat bikes? Kinda defeats the whole purpose now doesn't it.

Yeah inst that the truth, People will pay for anything though, instead of earning it themselves lol

I mean y pay big cash to take off your fairings and add rattle can black...and maybe a few go fast goodies here and there....
They probably charged the guy $5K for the work...

I will be more than happy to turn someone's bike into a RAT bike for them
