Very true, it often does not.
A high percentage of customizations make vehicles less desirable than the stock item.

That's what makes it so difficult to sell.
I think the builder should keep it;or part it out..

Look closely at how the front brake calipers are mounted.

Does this ugly heap of a motorcycle / Corvette creation have a SOHC engine in it ? Maybe a 650 ??  For your viewing pleasure ----------------------     https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/860154685768057/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_general&referral_story_type=general&tracking=%7B%22qid%22%3A%22-2854380629530020747%22%2C%22mf_story_key%22%3A%222337988727834462625%22%2C%22commerce_rank_obj%22%3A%22%7B%5C%22target_id%5C%22%3A2337988727834462625%2C%5C%22target_type%5C%22%3A6%2C%5C%22primary_position%5C%22%3A1%2C%5C%22ranking_signature%5C%22%3A3791640876087902017%2C%5C%22commerce_channel%5C%22%3A501%2C%5C%22value%5C%22%3A0.0010863044556743%2C%5C%22upsell_type%5C%22%3A129%2C%5C%22candidate_retrieval_source_map%5C%22%3A%7B%5C%227010665792381507%5C%22%3A3021%2C%5C%227026046904110592%5C%22%3A3528%2C%5C%226932974960069782%5C%22%3A701%2C%5C%226385844141521531%5C%22%3A3501%2C%5C%227150943124945255%5C%22%3A3501%2C%5C%226941428479228329%5C%22%3A3501%7D%2C%5C%22grouping_info%5C%22%3Anull%7D%22%2C%22lightning_feed_qid%22%3A%22-2854381248151100704%22%2C%22lightning_feed_ranking_signature%22%3A%223791640876087902017%22%2C%22ftmd_400706%22%3A%22111112l%22%7D

There's nothing pleasurable about that. It looks like a CB 550 motor that is to small to move that kind of weight.

  As far as a vision, it is like the fine line between insanity and genius. Likewise is the abomination vs saleable item.   Here for your viewing pleasure we have a raked Honda CR chopper/bobber.   Though I would not have done it exactly this way, I have to say nicely done.  Without even looking, a raked CR chopper/bobber definitely has abomination potential in my mind's eye.

Some kid would love that for Christmas.

Not as much as I'd love to see that kid take the hole shot amongst a bunch of club ride "BIKERS" on that thing.  I just realized it is a 500.

omg!  what an utterly useless piece of hipsterbait

[Kelly E]

I'm betting that it is a #$%* to turn that "hipster bait" thing with that big ass military utility tire on the front. 

[Godffery]

 That one should be titled: 'How to turn a perfectly good Motorcycle into a useless two wheeled tractor'...!   

[jgger]

Hipsterbait, bawhahahaha! That one belongs in the Dickshunary thread, well called.

[RAFster122s]

Nah you miss it all together that lovely thing should be in the next mad max film with sand paddle tire going up a dune if the poor R80/7 can produce the torque. I would suggest to the director to CGI it climbing  a near vertical steep dune and then sit back and watch a ton of them show up in the dunes and sand recreation areas thinking an R80 can really do that… that my friend would be a funny thing indeed to watch them get totally POd when they realize it was CGIed into ability… never let it be revealed it was CGI. Ultimate prank but boy would the BMW guys get torqued off but good, a bunch or R80s getting destroyed by this abomination idea and only reinforced through CGI tricks. Any one who has ever ridden dunes or sand would know what performance abd revs and torque might be needed and it just wouldn’t be doable, but the hipsters would often not even pay attention or research it or find out until they tried which would be a truly evil prank but a just dessert for anyone who likes to embarrass a hipster or give them an expensive lesson in reality.

Poor R80/7 destroyed but someone is happy, the guy who took home that big wad of cash if the buyer pays for it… it might be worth 10-20 percent of that amount for the motor if it is in good condition and a solid well running lump in 10 years after some rescues it from some hipster’s ‘collection’ of never ridden MCs that are merely fashion accessories for them.

[RAFster122s]

The headlight reminds me of the lighted bait some ugly —— deep sea fish have… it’s dangling out there ready to devour anyone anything that comes close, well it worked really well to have that gavel price. You think the seller is happy, I’d hope he is pleased as punch…

So, what did it cost him really to build it, how much profit was that sale? Will he build others? How many other victims will there be?
Does any BMW need humiliated this badly?
 Do BMW riders hate it or love it?
All these questions…
Do I really want to know?
Should I really care to know their answers, and all the other questions I could brainstorm up about this.

I LOL literally when I saw the gavel price about how absurd  it was….

Wow.    "A fool and his money are soon parted."

[CycleRanger]

Good lord, there's video even.

[simon#42]

reserve not met , it would seem that 17 grand is not enough to buy it .

[Kelly E]

When he's riding it looks like it's hard to turn and I wouldn't call the acceleration "quick".

Definitely a "hipster" special.

[grcamna2]

Stupid size tires.

[Don R]

 A friend has a Boss Hoss with the semi tire conversion on it. I wish I had a picture.

Okay semi tires is just going way too far. It seems the price of being trendy has moved past reality.
