...new breed of rider-oriented, sporty customs, and in classic machines updated with modern performance... http://www.motorcycledaily.com/28august06_retrosncustoms.htm | ||

I like it, except for the single sided swingarm. Something inside me just doesn't trust it. Doesn't mean I wouldn't roll that scoot. Overall it's getting a big thumbs up from me, especially because it doesn't have some experimental motor. | ||

THanks, Mid! SS swingarms are sexy, to me, anywho -- they can be done well, or poorly, like anything else -- good fun -- always nice to see what others are doing, innit? | ||

Nice bike. I'd like to see what those crazy Germans might do with it. | ||

I like it...but not sure the bike shown qualifies as "Less bling". Bring on the classics updated with modern performance. Too bad about the new Norton going under. Bill | ||

It's a very clean bike, though, no bling really, just polished "go" stuff. These guys are based in Campbell, right here in the SF Bay area. Probably next door to Fox racing. His web-site says they will build any type of bike with any engine. (Pardon me while I fantasize about a 600cc single in a frame like that.) | ||

 Anti-bling These are "new" to the states...kinda. Street Fighters have been around a long long time. | ||

I must confess myself to be a convert. I didn't much consider a sport bike as something that I would want to ride until a few months before I bought one. Even after I bought my M2, I wanted to polish it up and add non functional junk to it to make it pretty. But then I started to ride it more and more. I am glad that I out grew that phase. Now I simply enjoy riding my bike, and I really don't care how it looks. The types of "customs" that I would really like to see are function only, components that harmoniously add to the performance of the bike. I would be interested to see component and modification lists for race bikes. | ||

They look pretty cool to me. Much better than choppers, anyway. rt | ||

I'm with Pwnzor on that swingarm. It may work fine, but it gives me the heebie-jeebies just looking at it. Otherwise, I like it. I'd mask the headlight lens and hand grips and shoot the whole thing flat black, let it idle until the exhaust quit smoking, and go riding. | ||

I like looking at them, I just wouldn't want to ride one. | ||

I guess we'd have to define "bling". I call wild custom paint, gold anodized parts, and polished/chromed pieces bling. But I'm with you on the 600cc thumper. Bill | ||

Pete -- about every third time I look at the MaDeuce, I do a doulbe take, looking for the shock that everyone KNOWS should stretch from the frame to the swingarm -- yikes! howz that scoot sittin upright with all that air back there -- it's GOOD to be a silverback, ain't it? |
