We all see customs which defy logic on a regular basis. I am always on the lookout for bikes which catch the eye; how these bikes have escaped me thus far is hard to believe.

The level of insecurity one needs to buy/ride one of these "BarHopper Bobber HONDA rat bike CHOPPER boardtracker W/ harley wheels" is obviously high.

All I can say is, wow.

I am sorry, motorcycles first goal should be to function well as a motorcycle. The better it works, the better of a bike it is. This creation fails massively.

8 grands for a chance to grind your balls on a chain

I would sell it too.

I like the picture of the dork sitting on the bike taking a selfie.

What's that? You can't get enough and want more? I shall oblige.

Kingmambo · « **Reply #6 on:** January 22, 2016, 05:28:01 PM »

$8k is about the minimum I would accept to be seen sitting on one of those.

Check out the travel on the front end...I'd bet the tire locks up on the tree when the front brake is applied ,or a pothole is hit. Imagine the riders surprise when that front wheel starts to skid.
The burn-both-yer-legs exhaust, can only insure a deafening short ride ultimately searching for the nearest water source to pour on flaming jeans.
Life is too short already , why try to make it even shorter on a gem like this.
Like it isn't bad enough when cars don't see you and you have close calls....shoot, they'll all be aiming for that machine.
I think , if you really like this style ,you should build one for yourself , and if you stop riding it , never sell it, immediately destroy it so you aren't responsible for someone else's life.

Yard Art!

I can't tell what they are selling in the ad. Is it a kit? Looks like many bikes in the pics.

By far the most useless and idiotic trend in motorcycling I have ever seen.

Kenzo · « **Reply #10 on:** January 22, 2016, 06:38:52 PM »

I wanna see a pic of someone sitting on it.

Has to make for an interesting riding position...if you can even reach the bars.

Cheers,
Kenzo

But you can get them in any color! Maybe one for every day of the week?

I particularly like the no front fender and then a fender on the rear that's about an inch from the ground and runs 2/3 of the tire.

Stev-o · « **Reply #15 on:** January 22, 2016, 08:48:59 PM »

Do you think you could actually ride it?

Sgt.Pinback · « **Reply #16 on:** January 23, 2016, 12:08:46 AM »

Is it for riding?

It would probably be easier to wear it....

buffalogt750 · « **Reply #18 on:** January 23, 2016, 05:49:35 AM »

Have to wear proper gear to ride one of these

Googling loosespokz turned up a lot of images. Pressed steel frame CM450 is an interesting choice to base a custom bike business on. Some of these actually have flat slide carbs on them!? Far from my cup of tea but if he's making money on this, well, more power to him.

I just looked up the definition of UGLY.
Saw the picture posted above.
Closed the Dictionary and headed to the coffee pot.

There are 31 people watching. I wonder if they are waiting to see who will actually buy this thing.

WhyNot2 · « **Reply #21 on:** January 23, 2016, 07:16:49 AM »

I had the opportunity to sit upon one of these..........and no, not my cup of tea.

It was for sale at the local sales center in Aiken SC.

Even more horrifying than the sight of these godawful, butt-ugly pieces of crap is the thought that someone might actually pay perfectly good money for one of them!

I weep for the CBs that were sacrificed to make these atrocities!

yea, the one I sat on, was created (or death of) a CB450, '74 I think
