    Had today off and because of the threat of moderate to severe T-storms decided not to ride. What to do...what to do? GO LOOK AT NEW BIKES! Took a little stroll down to Bettencourts Honda & Suzuki in W. Bridgewater, MA. Found this gem sitting in the back where they keep some of their power equipment & overstock.

    Appeared to have many pieces of HRC un-obtanium parts on it. I wish I could've gotten better pics. It was tough to get close & the lighting wasn't the best. No its not for sale.

    Definitely a race rig with bits.. Your camera took care of the mixed lighting. probably auto white balance was on. What affected the overall exposure was the light coming from the window. The meter in the camera read the overall light (averaged) hitting the sensor. A fix for that and not a cure by a long shot is to, in the pic shown to get close to or if available, zoom in on the subject (the bike) and lock in the light reflecting from the bike by holding down the shutter release half way, backing off and capturing the image by pressing the shutter release all the way.

    This is a general fix and depends a great deal on the camera.

    What is surprising is that this bike is not better displayed since race bikes sell street bikes and we all would like to think we are fast guys..
