Taffy, I am well and truly stunned. I would like to say that The Black Diamond is a true work of art. It shows the time and the effort you put into this build. Thank you for not only saving another pinger, but making the late model bikes jellious... :thumbup:

I have to say, the idea of a supermoto dripping with cash and lacking a license plate seems strange. Typically, supermoto bikes provide the closest thing out there to cost-free crashing. With a $592.70 tank, expensive Aprilia swingarm, and no sliders anywhere, riding this particular bike around the track is a stressful proposition. Crashing this supermoto would probably cost more than most 2007 CRF450s are worth. Still, there’s no arguing that the end result is nothing short of impressive.
can't disagree with any of that!

The Pearl is beautiful, but the Diamond.....wow.....just wow. :rock:

I have no idea what is in store for your next build, and have no idea how you can keep topping your previous builds, but I am sure it will be awe inspiring to say the least.

Nice build. Tough to say which one is better... they're both amazing in their own ways.

I think the next bike has to be the other ultimate street machine, a CRF450r chasis with a hot XR650r engine stuffed in there so that you can ride it all day and night. You wouldn't have all the wrenching and high maintenance of running your old CRF on the street, and there is lots of custom fitting that will get you into build heaven.
