handai Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 for me "originality" derives from the word "origin" isnt?therefore its originality came from the factory design regardless of how many they are...so from my understanding when you modify your bike to make it different from others, that makes it "unique".. ok you can call it your "own design" because you made your own but the original design of it, is the "factory design" and you just changed it to your own... you are changing its looks,its "originality"to make it "unique"..thats how i call it..

I don't think that factory bikes can be refered to as original because there are hundreds if not thousands of them produced to identicle standards.
