Is this AI generated? I can obviously read Taco Bell and Honda but the other words I can't make out. Hard to tell if they're the usual AI nonsense or just because there's only 10 pixels in the image, 7 of which are devoted to that guys hair.

The details on the motorcycle gives it away. The engine appears to have two pistons of different sizes connected to two different cranks. The wheel spokes are also of different thicknesses and unevenly spaced. There is no front brake lever. It definitely looks like this image has AI generated elements in it.

He took the front brake lever off to reduce the bikes weight and go faster, since he lacks a right hand to use the brake...

Uniform spokes are for squares!

Main thing for me is he seems to be missing a hand.

The back wheels orientation is definitely off.

I think you're right. Much of the text has that "word adjacent" you see a lot in AI images. Also, the picture appears to be very 80s in style, but that taco bell logo wasn't used in the 80s. I'm pretty sure the logo and Honda were edited in.

Oh, that's right. Taco Bell originally used an actual bell on their buildings - themed to look like an old western missionary.

This guy is glitching and the pixelation look's off. I think it's a composite though. The people are still too well put together.

That Taco Bell logo is not the one from the 80s.

I'll vote A.I. I can see the parking lot divider line behind and through the back bike wheel looks off. Although I don't discont crappy parking lot paint jobs do exist too.

It's possible that the image is real and has been enhanced visually. Saturation and ~~added pixels~~ resolution upscaled with ai.

AI. That bike is supposed to be a Honda Hurricane. One of Honda's first full frame sports bikes. It has an inline 4. The motor it shows looks like a Vtwin or some kind of dual crank case thing going on.

Thanks. I was gonna ask what kinda bike that is.

There are actually 2 versions for this bike. The 600 and 1000cc. The 600 is actually faster than the 1000 in terms of pure acceleration. I owned the 600, I think it was a 1987 or 89.

Out of all the bikes I ever owned(and I owned many), this bike was the bike that got the most looks and thumbs up.

I miss this thing.

No need for a helmet with that thicc mane.

Ai The engine is janky looking, he is missing his right hand, the fonts are garbled even the Honda logo is off, the peeps in the background have bizarre stances, his bike looks more like a suzuki 1100r

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Sounds like someone is just jealous of that sick Ronda motorcycle. And maybe right hands.
