I have considered these all for a few days. Congrats to all and thanks to Inderocker for what must be a lot of behind the scenes work putting it all together each month and then this sum up at the end.

they are all special. I looked at them with my own personal bias. They all look great, Inde's and VTS in particular look really nice - that paint color really helps the bike.

But for me it comes down to a combination of function first, form second, both obviously important.
We all know the suspension (front and rear) is bad as delivered, so if this hasn't been upgraded before cosmetics, it doesn't make my top list - fork swap and shock (sorry vtrrumble, hrcvtr1000, tangostorm, tdogg, drewc14 and inderocker).
One of the best things about the SH is its a practical sportbike, good for track and trips, so it has to be good for long and fast rides, so the bikes sans fairing don't make my top cut (maverick, VTS).
The engine is also lacking, so engine-performance upgrades move bikes up the list for me (sorry cursio). Upgraded wheels help the performance and the looks so again a big plus. Making it all hang together so it all looks like it was intentional matters also.

With my priorities at least, I'm left with Tweety and RCVTR's bikes. Though all are great bikes, these are the two I would enjoy the most.

Its nice we all have our own priority list - something for everyone.

Cliby, using your system, it really only leaves Tweety as he has also done the swing arm swap to get the rear up to par with the new front..

I am not using the same system you are though so I am still thinking about my vote, they are all great bikes!

Just like in January I will decline to vote for a motorcycle that no longer exists, so that eliminates my first choice which is RCVTR's bike. That leaves Tweety and VTS for my choices.
I went with Tweety for the quality of the well chosen mods and the fact that they were executed in a way that leaves the bike looking almost like an OEM product in spite of the fact that almost none of the bike is standard.

I chose the bike I would most like to own and ride:

RCVTR.

I ended up voting for the only one I have seen in person. (Inderocker's)

They all have their own charm though.

Thanks Lazn!

I guess I should post up a photo of the VTR when it had the RC51 front end.



I like seeing how my VTR could look naked... if I had the time and skill! VTS got my vote!
