why do people leave neg comments when they for 1 have probably never seen 1 in the flesh and 2 never rode 1

Aaaaargh my eyes! The seat - make it stop! Green tyres are bad enough but you get away with them because of the highlights in the graphics but yellow seriously?
At the end of the day you build a bike to how you want it and if your happy with what you've done thats all whats important ,,,,,,, simples you can't please everyone so please yourself
