Nobody has posted a bike yet, so here's my baby.
2005 Honda 600RR. Currently it has no mirrors or turn signals but those will be back on soon. It has also been geared for more bottom end. The wheels are lighter Carrozzeria rims and also help in acceleration and handling. The passenger seat has been replaced with a Honda cowl. It also has adjustable Gilles rear sets which make for a better riding position.

Just to clarify, my friend Jeff and I were the originators of the no-mirrors-option. Back in 1999, I never saw a single person remove theirs. When we did it, we were the only ones. Now I see every bike lacking them.
Youse guys all copied us!!! :p
Please tell me you keep your toes on the pegs and tuck in your heels too. The "waddling duck" silhouette is for chumps, or people who like to scrape their toes on the ground while cornering.
Nice bike though. Don't forget to get some frame sliders. They can help a bike that would be totalled be...well... mine was still totalled, but it didn't look that bad!

FYI: The no mirrors option is nice and all, but just for your information, you have to have at least one mirror on a motorcycle to make it street legal. I have received a ticket because of this.

Meh. We're supposed to all have front license plates too. :p

The front license plate cost me $100 too, so I NOW have one on.

The guy I purchased the bike from removed the mirrors. I love the way it looks without them, but I'm not comfortable not knowing what's behind me at any given moment. I already have one mirror from Ebay and am getting the other very shortly.
It does have frame sliders. If not, that would be the next thing on my list.
Yeah, my heels stay on the chain gaurds. My feet only come off the pegs to stretch.
100 bucks for no front plate?! Man, I've never had front plates on any of my vehicles. Never even pulled over for them when I did live in CO before. That's one thing I love about Arkansas, we don't have front plates and there's no tint law either.

I didn't mind removing the mirrors on my bike, because they were essentially useless. I mean, yeah, sometimes you can see a shape or some color in the vibrating mirror, but the over-the-shoulder glance was way more useful for me.
Plus, removing them saves weight and imporves aerodynamics! (marginally)
