Designing a room: which pocketbike is the best looking??


This might come as an odd question but, I'm designing a room for a client and need to know which pocketbike is the best looking? The individual that I'm building and semi decorating the room for used to race both street and dirt bikes. I thought I'd add a unique touch to it by suspending a pocketbike or two from the ceiling. I've seen it done and my father did it recently with a Honda Dream 50.

The room is totally dedicated to motorcycle and automobile things. I got a few ideas from some body shop friends of mine, BMW 19" rim coffee table with earlier model 14" end tables with glass over the top obviously. But, back on topic of my original question, what is the best looking, looks the most like a big bike, and money is no object pocket bike. I'm thinking DM or GRC but, any thoughts?

Don't think any less of me because these are being used more as art than, I guess it would be worded as there 'intended' purpose. I view them as both italian art and a hell of a fun recreational vehicle. I'd like to get some input on this and maybe some places these can be purchased at, none of the sponsors I checked carried italian bikes.

Thanks for the input, Jared

The GRC RR seems to be the closest to a real race bike that I have seen.

the best looking, most realistic, and most accurate replicas are by Pasini

Yup, the Pasini. I would also look at the BMS they have replicating Valintino Rossi's M1(i think) on BMS' site.

As far as best looking here are my choices in order:

1. GRC Laser (Old bike no longer in production)

2. Pasini

3. BMS

4. GRC RR

P.S. Your client needs to be shot!

You must not make it out to the track too often.

Back on topic.

The GRC Laser is the best looking Minimoto that I've seen and they're also collectors items.

Yes it does look very sweet. I have no idea how much that would go for to be honest. If I were to take a guess, it's probably in the $3000+ range?
