That would have to be the worst use of a motorcycle I have ever seen. :o :o :o

I have to agree.I wonder why the builder of it didn't use a VW engine ?

Thats not an early CB frame mate, they made those in the 1990's and its wearing the stock swingarm...

Try early 1990's cb750 nighthawk

Steve, the "Johnson" bike is on the first page of this thread. The "Trophy" looks more like an abortion than an abomination. :o

Ahhh the inspiration it took to take all that travel out of the forks of a lowered bike. It was worth a thread bump.   This one is ready to ride, except for it is un rideable. I'd like to see this guy get out for a hundred fiddy mile pleasure ride on this one.

The amazing thing about this bike is it's not the cool DOHC motor that won Daytona, it's the CM version that came on rebels.

Even more amazing is the amount of bids and the $2600 price he didn't dump it for.

Nothing like a clown horn on a bike "that speaks for itself."

But the clown horn....Maybe if bidders heard it honk the bids would double.

I think I've seen at least two of those front wheel drive  trike things, and I'm pretty sure one was in fact a Chevy Celebrity.

There must be hundreds of folks who figured out this is to do with the front half of the car their cousin wrecked and wants to give to you.
