mr moto Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 That looks so real that I want to believe it's a model! I voted real anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABC Auto Industry Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I vote that it's a real motorcycle. It looks like it was pulled from an old magazine ad or something. (In response to #7: Whaddaya mean it's a real car!?!? There was a discrepancy that clearly said it was a model!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Hmm. I'll go with model based on the uneven thickness of the bottom curve of the rear fender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parki Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I'm gonna go with model again, this is tough! just sum little details that don't look right to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dub Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 O.K....(drawing a deeep breath,) I am pretty sure I know what this is. I'm not, however, going to vote until I've looked at the pic. on my screen at home! This screen is a 21" Trinitron tube but it's 10 years old. Brightness and contrast just don't seem up to today's standards. I know it sounds like I'm taking this too seriously but, man, I sure like to be right, and I haven't gotten any official votes right! Before my computer arrived I lurked on here during free time at work. Then, my record was perfect! It really doesn't matter, but I wanna be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Lombardo Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Isn’t this interesting! I think we all thought that this was going to be a slam dunk. We all build models and do our best to replicate the real vehicles, so surely we can tell the difference between real or model. Not so easy is it? I’m running at about 50% and I thought I could do better than that. But I think this exercise points to a more important fact that we should all be aware of. In this age of computers and photoshop, real pictures can be manipulated to represent what someone wants us to believe, rather than what is actually happening. I used to believe “half of what I saw and none of what I heardâ€. Today, I find it hard to believe any of what I see. (sorry, I did not mean to get “politicalâ€, just pointing out the downside of technology). Back to the picture, I think real, but Harry, you are very good at what you do so I am at your mercy. The line has been effectively bleared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 Back to the picture, I think real, but Harry, you are very good at what you do so I am at your mercy. The line has been effectively bleared. But remember...I don't alter the vehicle. I might change the background or the surface, if it gives away the scale...but I leave the car (or motorcycle) alone. If I did any PS trickery to the vehicle itself, you guys would NEVER get it right!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dub Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 But remember... If I did any PS trickery to the vehicle itself, you guys would NEVER get it right!!! Seriously, that is the only way to keep the playing field level! It still doesn't mean he won't start with a picture that already leans one way or the other just to throw us off! (Like say, the last two!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelson Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 i'm gonna take a guess here and say it's a model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luis Ayala Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 OK, I will go for Real this time... just because of the wiring and all the nuts and bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v8horsepowercj Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I'm going to say Model on this one but only for one reason. I can't seem to find any valve stems on the rims anywhere (although around the 4 o'clock position it looks like there is possibly one on the front wheel) the rear wheel valve stem could be hidden by the frame shocks etc. but hey I gotta take a guess one way or the other and as tuff as these things are to figure out thats basically what this is becoming a GUESS LOL Still saying Model I think LOL Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kk916 Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I think its real so my vote is it may be real.....or a model....oor........ah heck voting real Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owen Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 After much study and debate, I have to go with real. There are some very compelling points to make for model (maybe a large scale?), so in the end, this one is mostly gut feeling. Or maybe that's just gas?

bob paeth Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I voted "real" because the spokes look "in scale". You can bring everything down to size in a motorcycle except the wheel spokes. Even if the scale is 1/8 the spokes are too large in diameter to be correct. bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
