He expects 30 grand for that?

I think that is just barely covering the parts.

Is that what most custom bikes are selling for?[/quote]

Most customs (chops and such) are much higher, i think they are a little over priced for sure, but alot of it is just owning something that not many people have. A nice Harley by the time you customize it to your liking will usually run about the same, i have around $26000 in mine and i am not nearly done. The truth is, yeah they are way overpriced, but its a hobby like anything else, we all tend to spend too much on our hobbies.

That looks like the product of a sexual encounter between a tiger and a firetruck.

2006 CBR1000RR all black

I have never gotten this many compliments on a bike before. It handles like nothing else I’ve ridden.

upsized from the 600 bro? definetley a little more “your size” nice bike.

I got tired of being told I looked like a bear on a tri-cycle.

of course i still think you would look best on a big v-twin harley but hey to each his own

MP…Nice bike! Definately suits you well!

Yami’s and Choppers seem to rule T-Nation.

I used to also “have” a TL1000R. Lets just say at the level of experience i was on the bike, i’m lucky i’m still here. The day i gave it back to it’s rightful owner(it was really on long loan), he somehow managed to put it down, again, on the very next day. Apparently the shifter broke off in traffic, he looked down, and when he looked back up he was about to rear end somewhat so he stomped on the brakes and lowsided.

I really like ratted out/street fightered bikes. they are pretty badass. Friends got a Triumph speed triple which has an amazingly torquey engine, and another a kawasaki z1000 , which doesnt seem to get much love from anyone.

My first bike.

(Don’t have any actual pictures of it, this is the closest one I found)

66


My last bike. Sold it when I moved to London.

(Same as before, no pictures of it, closest one I could find, same colour, though this one is the limited edition, I got mine painted)

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

Anyone checked out the new Ducati DRR…sweet ride. Reminds me of a bike that came out around the time of the BMW K1 (ugly bastard) - hub steering.

I can beat that.

Here’s a custom motorcycle with a Lincoln flathead Zephyr V-12 engine. Saw this bike at Wauseon a couple of years ago. The radiators (and fans) are hidden in the saddlebags. Yes, I watched the guy start it and ride it around.

Way cooool.

Built a moped when I was a teenager. It was a Yamaha Passola mostly so it looked pretty much like this…

Just in the process of selling my first real motorbike now, which is a Yamaha Virago - nice first bike, looks nice, handles well, sounds nice for it’s engine size (250 but V-twin) not much power or acceleration though obviously…
It looks like this;
