Sorry. I forgot. If it doesn't say Buell on the side and have a air cooled V-Twin, it's junk. You people need to broaden your horizons. |

Sure. If you like the same V-Twin, raked out ,Chromed up, over the counter part, same flame, skull, metal flake, green, red, blue, black, orange , straight pipe, cookie cutter chopper. There's a ton of them out there. I like it because it's different. Kinda like my Buell. |

"Sorry. I forgot. If it doesn't say Buell on the side and have a air cooled V-Twin, it's junk. You people need to broaden your horizons." Now that's just plain funny. See my profile. It just looks boring to ride to me. |

Naw, I have had lots of bikes of many brands. My latest is the most fun I've had yet. Pardon the hijack. Actually the subject bike of this thread is starting to get me interested. What's the motor? (Message edited by rubberdown on November 02, 2006) |

It is ugly, but I like it! It's the anti-chopper chopper. You don't see a huge motor or big pipes, no bling bling chrome. The sound is the best. Imagine what the typical chopper guys would think if they heard that go by them. |

Actually I think it's a ridiculous concept because it doesn't work as what it is supposed to be. Paint it green or blue or black or any colour but rosso red and that thing would give no hint what so ever of some dreamed up relationship to a Ferrari F1 car. The wheels could be made to look like F1 wheels. Instead they're sourced from a catalogue. The front hugger shows no imagination whatsoever to the front end shape of an F1 car when it so easily could have been designed to have wings, scoops or barge boards or whatever to enhance the front end into the centre of the bike. The rear hugger is plain old run of the mill with some hideous seat design meant to look like an F1 air scoop. Now we get to the main bodywork. Well I've got a better theme for the bike. It needs to be themed for the 'Scream' movies because that's what those scoops remind me of. A Scream mask! Ferrari my arse. PAINT IT BLACK Rocket |

Other than the fact it has two wheels, it sucks. |

You wanna see some different customs, look at the American Flyers articles in the new Cycle World. That custom CBX made me happy in my pants. |

"What's the motor?" Triumph 975 or something like that, some kind of mini-bike motor. It's all about looks, no substance there. They are trolling for an idiot who is, 1), not very knowledgeable about motorcycles, and, 2), has a huge wad of cash burning a hole in their pocket. Jack |

Even I as an Englishman recognised this Chop was themed on an old Lincoln.
Now perhaps you understand why I say that red 'thing' looks like it's from a Scream movie, lol. Rocket |

There is no detail to be appreciated with that bike. The body work covers everything, so there is nothing to look at. It's kind of like an egg with wheels. |

Man, I was hoping he would at least light up the rear tire when he stopped and sat there at the end. I think he tried (see puff of exhaust), but nothing happened. Oh well. I always enjoy looking at these unusual bikes you guys post from time to time, but look at them more as functional art than anything I would actually be interested in riding or owning. |
