I'm not into OCC choppers, but this I like.

'senior' said, "i've never ridden a bike which handles so well."  yeah, after seeing what comes out
of OCC, that doesn't surprise me.  sounds like the buyers are now dictating what they want ... probably
to prevent delivery of some POS with hundreds of welded-on doo-dads that OCC passes for 'fabrication'.

Um...  My M750 only has one rotor up front and it stops better than some dual-disk rides.

That said, I like the simplicity  [thumbsup]

Yep - Lots of bikes only come with one front rotor. Two is a nice upgrade, not necessary for trimming off speed.

I love the orange bike and would totally ride it (definitely not my first choice in color, though).

I like that it's short, has a springer front end and tractor seat.

Call me mad (or traitorous) but I like them all. And would happily ride any one of them.  :)

turning gasoline into noise without going through the horsepower state. i'm sure that to have insurance  on an occ bike, you have to sign a "will not handle" waver [puke]

give this a black frame & army green paint job, and I am in. More so because of the suicide shift.  [thumbsup]

OCC build is very clean for them - almost minimalist.

It really doesn't look stupid enough (maybe Paul Jr, didn't have anything to do with it!!!) to be an OCD, excuse me, OCC bike.  I think most people here would admit that they make unrideable junk

seriously? no front brake at all?

My Dad is an old school motorcyclist who rode Triumphs, BSAs, HDs, and etc. in the early 60s. No, when they rode bobbers/choppers, they didn't run with front brakes. He still doesn't like front brakes. Many of these older guys are so used to having only rear brakes, they don't trust, nor are they comfortable with front brakes.

As for the AMG bike, it would be cool if it were built by AMG and used modern technology for the engine vs. an American, push-rod V-twin.
