Some people have too much spare time, and money.

I'm afaid I disagree, Leon. If the man wants to spend his money like that, why not. That hardly looks like overkill to me especially when some will spend £2350 plus VAT and postage on a performance kit and nowt wrong with that either.

A bit overdone by my standards, but then it was not designed for my standards.
I am not fond of the Royal Enfield plate on the back, it sticks out too far, but otherwise, a very respectable machine, and I say 'respectable' when considering the following reason.
It seems the guy is Indian, and you only need to read the vids comments to see that the replies support his efforts. After all, the bullet was; and still is; A status symbol for Indians. Owning, being seen, and customising a bullet is the ultimate accolade for many, and one such as the video shows, will pull many admirers.
Check out the short video clip below.

The bike in the clip Leon hightlighted does seem to have been very mildly customised, all common stuff in India. Not my style, but I think I prefer that (in moderation) to the bobber craze which seems to have been inflicted upon quite a few Bullets over here recently. Come on guys, what have those poor rear mudguards ever done to you?
The helicopter taxi is barking but brilliant.

exactly like that Count - clearly you have too much money no taste zero creativity and too much time on your hands. Disgraceful. I'll buy it when finished though.
