Karl Lagerfeld was spotted this past week at the Chanel boutique on Rue Royale in Paris, shooting the press kit for Chanel’s pre-spring collection entitled Starting Point. The shoot was not only intriguing because of models Lara Stone and Baptiste Giacobini, but also because of the appearance of a custom designed Chanel motorcycle, customized for the famed fashion house in Toulouse, France.

    What parts of the bike are made by Chanel besides the decal? The saddle perhaps?

    True about the bike, I was mostly appreciating the aesthetics behind it; the vintage high-profile tires, multi-spoke wheels, gears, handlebars, the beauty of the exhaust. It’s clearly an exercise in artistic interpretation of bikes or something, but yes it holds nothing next to vintage triumphs, indians in terms of pure performance and engineering. I stick behind my words for lagerfeld and the retard models, those people are the pinnacle of insecurity and bullshit, so kikimachine, I can guarantee I have more balls then all of them combined.

    Sorry kikimachine, but a motorcycle without a front brake is garbage. This looks like someone took a fiberglass pool and bashed it against a Triumph bike until this shit happened.

    you guys have such big sticks stuck on your behinds! if it’s a good bike, it’s a good bike. period. there is no law prohibiting anyone to own a good bike, or even a bad bike for that matter. all your puny imaginations and non existent creativity can’t make you morons think beyond stereotypes. am pretty sure that any self respecting bike aesthete who’s worth his salt can appreciate the context in these photographs.
    besides, Karl Lagerfeld there on the left side of the second photo has way more balls than most of you, if not any of you in terms of intellectual, philosophical and creative explorations.
    GET A LIFE people!

    The bike is ill, and the second pick is the biggest oxymoron I’ve seen in some time. I can’t even describe with words how ridiculous Lagerfeld, the cross-eyed guy behind him, and that pale skeletor chick look on such a beautiful machine. They are not worthy to be in its presence.
