Looks good man, like it.

Maybe tone the lighting down a touch as its a little blown out in some areas.

Looks really, really cool...

Although my motorcycle loving heart goes out to the rider who dares to take any bump on this...

That belly is REALLY close to the ground :hug:

I am, without a doubt, the latter.

Hey guys, sorry for the late reply,...
- Thanks a lot for the positive feedback, it means a lot to me!
The truth is that a suck at lighting, but I will try to tweak it bit.
And it's true that it's kind of low, but maybe it make this impression and the fact that it's lean over a bit.
Thanks again and I'll do better to next projects.
Cheers!

its just feedback to consider during your next projects, and even if you decided to toss it all aside, your work would still be great, because its already great!
