A motorcycle. I don’t know exactly what make and model, but I would guess to be something Suzuki, but you’re looking at the front of the bike, with the light at the bottom, and the SS is stuck behind the wind deflector, or “windshield” as some might refer to it as.
Picture might help give an idea.
In high school?! Shit… Good thing we have a more sane system in Germany about bikes specifically. You can’t just legally drive a high-performing bike when you’re young, you have to work your way up from AM (45kmh, 4kw, 50cm³, as early as age 15), then A1 (11kw, 125cm³, 16 years old), A2 (35kw, 18 years old) to A (unlimited, 20 years old if you got A2 for at least 2 years). Only if you’re age 24 or older you can go directly to A as it’s assumed you’re adult enough, and well, freedom and all.
Still, too many people drive superbikes on the Autobahn like they’re living in GTA… but at least not out of youthful ignorance, but simply stupidity.
It’s something about the reputation. All of those super sport bikes are insanely powerful but it always seems like the worst people to own them are riding GSXRs (we called them Gixxers). I used to race (on a track) and we would see racers come in with second hand GSXRs that had been repaired from accidents, totaled, sold by insurance, and turned into track bikes.
It almost looks like some form of temporary registration, shoved up under the plastic. The one bit of semi-legible writing doesn’t look like english though.
What the fuck is this even a picture of? A space marine pauldron?

Wild guess but I’m thinking Suzuki GSXR. They also have a bad rep in the motorcycle community due to the people that have bought them.
One of my brother’s friends bought one back in high school and within a couple weeks he was medevac’d from a major freeway by helicopter

9-13 Yamaha FZ7. Seriously fun bikes.
Read the caption brotha
Oh dang lol. I totally missed that last sentence
It doesn’t look like a bike to me, it looks like something underwater but also dry somehow.
Looks like the front of a bike to me, admittedly a weirdly shaped and pretty roughed up bike but still pretty definitively bike looking.
I’m confused by what it’s on.
Did they spray paint some SSes and just kept the newspaper they painted it on?

That’s fair. I think it’s the front of the bike.
