This mod to a CB750 I have not seen before...

Looks like he started with a 1976 CB750K, not sure how he got to this 4 wheeler!

Just a quad frame with the engine bolted in. Anyone with some fab skills could easily do this and if you had all the spare parts or found a cheap frame... easy peasy.

But I wouldn't pay $1700

The larger question is why? FUGLY.  And $1700?! Are you out of your mind!?

Look closer, it's actually the motorcycle frame with quad parts bolted on. Could probably be easily returned to stock form.

It's a little motor and likes having the tits revved off it.

Fugly?  No way, that's too cool! :D


Lot of work it took to make that stuff bolt-on.

There's a guy where I dirt ride with a liter bike engine in his quad. It's ridiculous and doesn't even seem fun. Seriously, it's good for going straight and that's about it.

 I sure as hell wouldn't want a bike that fast in technical rock and tree-lined areas.

Climbing up the side of an 8-story tall dune is another story!

Really big sprockets help lol
