The 749 SMF (Sexy Mother Fighter)

We are almost there with the 749 SF. With the new belly-pan and the new carbon tank protectors (which they've been placed on purpose an inch clear from the tank, to add some extra complexity to the bike's lines). What is left is a pair of stickers on the tank and on each wheel. I'll have some more photos with the final result as well. 
So i went to a road with no cars and no people, just before dawn, to have some soft light and made some more pics. I'm publishing every picture that i took, that afternoon. It is a 360 walk-arround slide show. 
When i design, i'm trying to make a bike look great from as many angles as possible. This isn't something that happens automatically when you build a bike and although i've said that i haven't design this bike, i've certainly had some opinion on what goes where in order for the final result to look harmonic from every possible angle. 
That is why i publish those photos in the exact order that i've taken them. To see the final result as if you where there walking arround it, like i did. Some of them have some Photoshop (crop, saturation and some extra light in the shadows) but most of them are uploaded exactly as they were taken. 
So there you have it. When every factor is in its right proportion, you have a result that needs (almost) no enhancement.
