If Elvis was a biker… The Snakeskin R1

To be fair, the Yamaha R1 has always been known to attract a certain type of person, so maybe we should have seen this one coming… Yes, what’s not chromed is covered in snakeskin. Normally this kind of thing would have me pointing my finger straight at Texas, but we actually ran across this in Paris where they’re supposed to have taste.

KMP would appear to be responsible for this rolling tragedy, but I’ll forgive them because they also built my favourite GSX-R streetfighter, which is at least three times as badass as this one is try-hard.

More eye-bleeding pics after the jump.
