In love . . . Your thoughts?

where's the rest of it?

I have always liked their bikes- very simple & kinda steampunk.

Been one of my fav bikes for a while... Always thought they could do more with the air cleaner. I have also heard they have some serious reliability issues.

Very steampunk indeed

Wicked cool bikes, always loved them, but for the money they charge... you could build your own!

i've always been in love with form follows function, and this is a prime example! i love the double sided oil sight (right??) and the fact that you can see everything work! damn they're cool bikes, all of them...

I always wondered what a naked Busa looked like?

I could stare at that thing for hours...I want one in my living room. They sure phoned in that air cleaner though. Maybe they overheard Martha Graham?

For those times when you just want to ride....whatever the hell that ugly thing is. I think I would rather ride a vespa painted pink with a recording that screams out at 190Db, I'm gay!
Sorry but it is just THAT ugly to me. Good news is that leaves 1 more over priced bike for someone who does like them.

RobbertCole · « **Reply #10 on:** July 06, 2010, 02:30:38 PM »

I would take the black one with a traditional headlight, aircleaner, and normal looking front fork setup.

I think I love it because I'm so on the fence about it...if that makes sense.

Thane · « **Reply #11 on:** July 06, 2010, 07:48:07 PM »

might be pretty cool to take to a bike show but not much good for anything else, just my two cents

Frankenkit · « **Reply #12 on:** July 06, 2010, 09:47:09 PM »

the headlights look dumb, the fork looks scary and the seat looks comparable to a rectal exam in terms of ergonomics. Having nowhere to rest your right knee except against the header would suck, unless you sit like one of those harley dudes, flat on your tailbone, legs splayed like a chick in stirrups at the gynecologist.

Other than that, yeah, great bike.

A bike that gives so little thought to the needs of a potential rider needs no further comment from this potential rider.

And another for the "beyond ugly" club. Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder. And it ain't me.

Not sure I'd rather ride a pink vespa. I'd call it about even.

Looks like it must weigh half a ton....

KeithTurk · « **Reply #17 on:** July 10, 2010, 11:47:48 AM »

One of my good friends designed the Wraith and the Hellcat... ( I think this bike is based on that design concept )

JT Nesbitt is a fun character who loves New Orleans... When we took the 4 550's down to Mexico we stopped and stayed in at his Studio both going and coming back.... All I really remember is it was incredibly drunk out... least that first time...

I like the bikes... but JT's latest design is a Compressed air car...

Here ya go...www.bienvillestudios.com

Just checked Bienvilles website . . . very cool stuff coming out of there. Takes a very intricate mind to come up those design concepts from scratch. Its engineering and art.

KeithTurk · « **Reply #19 on:** July 12, 2010, 09:19:01 AM »

and I genuinely can't tell you which JT favors more.... he's an incredibly adept artist with impressive mechanical skills..

I met him when he was a writer for Iron Horse Magazine.... long story... but we've just gelled and become good friends over the years.... he's a young guy too.... late 30's ( Considering the scope of his work )
