I dont have any decent pics of my bike but here is one that I grabbed of the net that is exactly the same as mine.

Really like that Silver Bullet.
Actually, all his bikes are pretty sweet. I like his style. Altho, I am not a big fan of the fat front tires.[/quote]
I have never seen that silver bullet before. It is a beautiful bike. Thanks for putting the link up.
I don’t have a good picture here on my home computer. Let’s just say it’s halfway to being a ratbike.
Prof., did you trade in the R6 or keeping it around for friends to ride?
me and my 03 R1.

I traded it in…and I kind of miss it a little. It is strange, but your bike is like a horse. It might as well have a personality. I hope whoever buys it takes the same care of it that I did.

Nice to see another Honda. Here’s my ride…2003 600RR. She just picked up a nail in the rear yesterday. It’s ok tho b/c it gave me an excuse to put a set of Pilot Powers on her. I just finished scrubbing them in and I love them.
i just bought an 02 R1. can’t get a shot of it onto the net but this is what they look like. What a beautiful machine!. the gsxr 1k has even more grunt and pulls like a freight train from everywhere but the r1 looks hot and its been resprayed with yoshi tri oval rs3 pipe and oggy knobs.
that tlr is awesome as well. the other bike on my wishlist was the tl1000s, the motors in the tl’s are fantastic. Sporty v-twins are probably the best motors for street but good ones are a bit pricey

I love the Steamroller…and the fat tires. I love all of Russell Mitchell’s work.

you’re welcome. When I hit the lottery, I’m getting an Exile. Plain, no bling, no goofiness. Just tough-looking and basic. Their trike is the coolest trike ever (and I don’t like trikes).

A buddy of mine just built a chopper using many Exile parts. Now that’s its done he’s selling it. He’s looking for a bit more than $30,000.
Here is a different view of my buddy’s bike.
CBR600F2 - full Micron race system.

Very nice, but the first thing I would do is put a bigger tank on.

I think that is just barely covering the parts.

Agreed.

Is that what most custom bikes are selling for?

No, most true custom bikes (Exile is not a custom bike shop) are going from $50-100K. Exile bikes start at $30,000 UNASSEMBLED. You put it together. Assembled they start around $50,000. Check out OCC, they have standard choppers (not custom) and total customs (meaning nobody else has one like it, built to customer specs). Their customs are easily in the $70-100K and higher range. You pay for the fabrication and artwork. Are they actually worth it? Depends. Some people will gladly spend that kind of cash for a designer bike or a completely unique ride. Like most things, you pay a lot for the name. I just like the Exile look and could probably replicate it from outside sources for much, much less.
Prof, I see you on a HD Heritage Springer or even a Boss Hoss.
Prof needs to get off the tiny crotch rocket and get one of these:
