Never meant to be ridden. Doesn't have to have good ergonomic or road manners, just look outrageous. Title: Re: Who would pay for this? Seriously where are the buyers? Post by: numbskull on August 16, 2009, 10:16:13 AM Wow...that's just ugly. With an unbelievable price to boot. [puke]

You know me well enough to know its not for me, but as they say, "No such thing as bad publicity". The owner thanks you i'm sure. Title: Re: Who would pay for this? Seriously where are the buyers? Post by: Scottish on August 16, 2009, 12:06:32 PM Question Anson, Why were you looking at it? I was watching Mecum last night on DiscoveryHD an I saw that roll through. I saw the price and thought my Lord who the..... had to share. They had a guy push it through, looked above average height. Watching him try to see around the tank was ridiculous. :PYou know me well enough to know its not for me, but as they say, "No such thing as bad publicity". The owner thanks you i'm sure. Title: Re: Who would pay for this? Seriously where are the buyers? Post by: Greg on August 16, 2009, 01:15:44 PM Yeah I saw that as well. I think the highest bid was $17,000, but I didn't see if it actually sold or if it was held back due to a reserve price.

if they moved/reshaped the tank so it was underneath the backbone in that void space rounded up those brakelines with some kind of tie/fastener and tightened up the rake to about 26 degrees it wouldn't look too bad Title: Re: Who would pay for this?

Post by: GAAN on August 17, 2009, 09:57:13 PM I do like the rear of that bike
but the frame builder needed to have the tire mounted to the wheel to better make that bend now add the rear of that green bike to this bike (http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/photogallerys/2010-Honda-Fury-5.jpg) then i woulld take one but not for 50k that is just make the beast with two backsing dumb Title: Re: Who would pay for this? Seriously where are the buyers? Post by: kopfjäger on August 17, 2009, 10:01:23 PM I sat on one, it's a beast. Would take some getting used to, the front tire seems like it's 10ft away. :o

There are tons of rolling chassis out there. [thumbsup] Title: Re: Who would pay for this? Seriously where are the buyers?

Title: Re: Who would pay for this? Seriously where are the buyers? Post by: kingbaby on August 18, 2009, 09:10:21 AM The second bike "Lethal Strike" is setting in my garage getting getting a carb mod.
The new owner paid 90K http://wickedbros.com/website/bikes.html Title: Re: Who would pay for this? Seriously where are the buyers? Post by: Scottish on August 18, 2009, 09:22:17 AM The second bike "Lethal Strike" is setting in my garage getting getting a carb mod. I like the long and low look better than the tall spindly look. I actually took one of those type out once, strange steering, kind flops into a corner, makes you want to put a leg out to hold it up. Once straightened out though they're kinda cool to goose with the big twin.The new owner paid 90K http://wickedbros.com/website/bikes.html Title: Re: Who would pay for this?

Seriously where are the buyers? Post by: kingbaby on August 18, 2009, 10:55:51 AM I like the long and low look better than the tall spindly look. I actually took one of those type out once, strange steering, kind flops into a corner, makes you want to put a leg out to hold it up. Once straightened out though they're kinda cool to goose with the big twin. Couldn't agree more. The original Swedish style bikes were cool because they were still stubby & actually steered well. Then... leave it up to Americans, POOF big giant cookie cutter bikes painted like easter eggs, made with parts from Asia. WTF? As far as this bike goes, yes flops big time at slow speed. It would be a little tuff to set rake & trail on a bike that could roll under a dining table with 52deg. rake. [laugh] But MAN does it ride well over 20. It has an actuator on the clutch so you can set at a stop in gear with no clutch on like an automatic car (very cool). I know this style isn't for everybody, especially this group, but if anyone can ride this & not say they didn't feel pretty damn cool on it is full of crap. It's like dating a super model...Ya' don't ask her her IQ. Title: Re: Who would pay for this? Seriously where are the buyers? Post by: kingbaby on August 18, 2009, 11:01:20 AM I really like it, but for 90k, it better have come with the brunette. [evil] Brunettes, Blondes, Red heads, they all come around. It's like walkin' a puppy, while carryin' a baby. [cheeky] Title: Re: Who would pay for this? Seriously where are the buyers? Post by: kopfjäger on August 18, 2009, 11:10:35 AM My style. [evil]

I didn't see this post before, sorry to not respond. Yes it does have lines like Paul's bike. They have worked together in Phoenex for years. John built all the exhausts & many of his frames. Now John is "the man" Aint time funny...Go figure. |
