Darrin, if you buy it, don't get a hotfoot on the headpipes. |

I think its sort of cool. If you like bobber sorts of bikes, its got decent lines and that garage built look. It would be the only one like it at bike night.  But I like everything from MotoGP goodness to scooters, new or old, so long as they look sort of thought out. John |

Anything just thrown together can create some amount of interest. But for me anyway, the technical and creativity interests fads and I'm just left with the question: WHY ? |

That wasn't just thrown together, it was clearly done with intent. That's why I like it, but you are probably still left with the same question.  It would be a dull world if we all liked the same thing.I would ride it. John |

I like it - a lot! It's different and looks like some decent effort put into it. I dunno about a long trip on it - I had to go back an look, don't see a oil tank so that explains the tool bag (to hold a pint of your favorite bean mix). Still think its cool, wonder what his reserve $ is... |

Times are a changin......  Riders are mostly looking for something so different that it's main purpose is to just get attention. As most now couldn't find a spark plug if they even knew what it was. So impressing with technically correct is getting lost with time.I wouldn't even sit on that contraption.........
