Really needs to black out the light the seat and the bars. I would like to give it a try though. 170 mph in a spread eagle position does seem kinda scary.

Gah! That thing is freakin' mentally challenged looking. Image

But hey... if it floats his boat, then, like, whateveeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrr...

On a side note... why are so many "builders" coming out with idiotic looking bobbers? I mean, c'mon... bobbers, good old traditional bobbers are a thing of ultimate coolness. But these thing that they're coming out with now??? bleah.

For the worker is working when the fat cat's about

I still don't understand how that's... it makes me cry inside. What a waste of two perfectly good bikes.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

I suppose if youve got the money to burn.... but your right Sev, it makes me sad, just like Macy crashing his bike repeatedly in WildHogs did....

I've been waiting for someone to build a wicked chopper out of a sportbike... but this one ain't it.

bleh.. beyond the fact that its ugly, i really think it fits in with most modern "custom" choppers.. barely functional... stretched out = barely can corner... this version.. well, have fun keeping that front wheel on the ground when u hit 9k...

Looks like an ugly toy...not a motorcycle.

I hate ape hangers.
