Nice bike but for 19 grand I could have build 3 or 4 bikes to look just like it.

That's what I was thinking.  I'd have a garage full of old Hondas if I had $20k...


I don't think its a type.  He is just used to build 20-30k chopppers so he thinks a honda can be worth that much.

19K is absurd. I just saw the Aztec Bike that Carpy built in Texas for $3000.  ::)

Somebody beat me to the Harley comment,  but seriously, only the top end is new.  Those XR 1200s look good for 2/3 the price new.  Not to mention the Buell going  into  the closeout/ blue light special pile.  I hear those are cheap and literally and figuratively going fast.

Really, if you look closely,  that bike looks like crap,  let some clueless wonder will buy it.  (I only paid 120.00 for mine)   Bet on seeing more of this baloney in the future

Damn not sold yet.  I will give the guy 100 bucks and his favorite case of beer for it but that's it.  For 20 grand ill build my bike the way I want.  I would never spend 20 grand on a bike that'd done.  Just doesn't seem right. Plus if I had it I would have to repaint it to get rid of wild rice he put on it thinking it was cool.

$19K for a bike that is mostly cheap parts and shoddy workmanship. really? is this what our hobby has become?

you may not like HD but for the price at least their parts are somewhat better quality.

Those shocks are sh1t
the pipe is cheap
the cables are stock
the ebay special fixed clubman bar (ick) is installed upsidedown
stock pegs and controls
stock cables
16" rim.

oh and it is ugly to boot.


How do you really feel.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
