I'd like to say it's cheesy, but GTA is a kick ass franchise, so you know it's gonna be good.
I'm no pro, but I like doing shit myself, and making my bikes represent who I am. Screw cookie cutter machines. The greatest artists have a unique style instantly recognizable as their own. So it is with bike builders, the best ones are artists who don't give a shit what the style de jour may be.

A few pics of progress so far. Or lack thereof. The motor looks real nice all stripped down, and I scrounged an old tank that reminds me of the kind that Detroit Bros. manufactures (knock off of a Harley Hummer or something like that). The exhaust will stay wrapped, but we'll see what kind of mods I have to make. I hate to say it, but I'm gonna have to make a subtle baffle to go in there, as it fucking SCREAMS right now. I like it, but the local authorities don't.

The (re)build of my bike... The motor is from a 2004 cbr600rr that I bought from local salvage after the bike was in a total write off. I originally built this bike two years ago from a bunch of misc parts from various manufacturers. So far, I've had two kick ass summers on it, but it's time for a total revamp. Hard tail frame, redesigned airbox, all hoses and fittings hardlined/modified/replaced, wiring simplified and cleaned up, possibly a dry-sump oil delivery conversion, etc etc etc. Here's a few pics of the original build:
