It's attractive but there's also something fundamentally wrong about that bike.

In a "hot looking pre-op transsexual" kinda way.

Which explains why Spidey likes it so unequivocally  ;D

I like it, but it needs a narrower rear tire.

'Bobber style usually brings about the characteristics of: small gas tank, tall narrow tires, lots of frame, engine exposure, small tractor-style seat and rear tapering off to the ground.

Here is a concept (someone elses) of a BSA but intermixed with Ducati USD forks, disc brake, 10-spoke S4RS rims, etc. (anyone want one built with a Ducati Bevel v-twin perhaps?)

(note: one of the coolest BSA based 'bobbers was pictured along with Stuarts bike awhile back -- maybe the new owner as he likes this style or is Stuart building something else in his garage...)

I like bobbers.  They don't really look fast (and I don't care if they go fast), they just look like something to cruise around on and bring smiles to people's faces.

Looks good to me, the difference between the tyres is ridiculous... but I'd ride it!  ;D

if it had a skinny rear, and gone minimal for the seat, I can dig it





yes, I'm being serious  ;D

:edit: can you imagine the kind of crazy subframe you could fab up for that? make it look like nothing but a floaty saddle, and bolt a bit of a fender/hugger to the swing arm?

HAWT!

You know that Stuart can build more if needed in the future...  plus it got some amazing fuel economy with the carb / small valve setup he had on it.

What's wrong wid it?  ;)

Seriously though kinda cool if there was less size difference between the front and rear tires. Backs to fat, fronts to skinny. A little moderation between them and I'd ride it.

It had a unique sound!  But I'll be honest and admit that I didn't hear your bike at all as we rode out of (2007) Laguna Seca back into Monterey. (my DesmoDevil was pretty loud then)  It was fun seeing all those heads spinning around wondering what in the heck our two bikes were as we cruised out of there. (you get good at reading peoples lips as they say "what the *uck is that...")  I still haven't found a copy of the helicopter video of us heading out -- but (4) different people have seen it on tv.  Some folks were supposed to send pics of us riding out as well -- never saw those either. 

I guess when you get the new bike done and I get mine -- we'll have to do a reprise.  I'm sure I can get a volunteer to ride my DesmoDevil.  Spidey and a few other customers of yours/mine probably would join in the fun as well...

I like it, but the rear tire seems like an excursion of exaggeration.

That said, I'd take either if someone was handing them out.

I like it all, cept the huge rear tire.  Huge rear tires belong on 12' long busa's and 15' long choppah's
