I play on another website thread that is totally dedicated to posting Cool looking bikes. In fact I ended up playing bikes-on-line while I was looking for ideas on how to soup-up my GS850-Shaftie (Suzi, not BeeEm). Anyway, I never gave up. I just got my mits on these images and thought you RATS might appreciate them too. I am not a twin fan, or a scrambler fan, or a wafer thin seat fan, but this ROCKS! Dig the FCR's. Then I thought to label the thread as I did so that you might post your favourite bike images in the future too.
No - I say keep him alive in captivity - as an example - and feed him CX's.
Then take others, like Deus "mechanics" (the quotation marks are put in to prevent insulting real mechanics that may lurk on this forum) and RSD-types to view Shinya (in captivity) - as a warning.
I had a change of heart and decided burning him is taking things too far.
Putting him in captivity is being too kind, though. I say strapping him to a CX and dropping him in Siberia is the best plan. Also, a few steaks and and other carcasses should be placed around him to attract wolves and bears. A knife should be put just out of reach.
If he can escape and make it back to society, then he can be placed in captivity.
...Dunno, just picture googled the guy, I rather like some of his work, they have a certain degree of "steampunk" feel in them.
And guys enough with the CX/Guzzi hate... When the time comes to sell my CBR in the spring/ start of summer I might just trade it for a banger CX,"Steampunk" it out and fill this thread with pics of it just to double rub it in your face
You are really considering posting CX Steampunk? You are not getting enough Sun Matt. I will forgive you until the Sun comes up in Finland. But after that........
Yea the thing about the sun here... once it finally comes up, it doesn`t really wanna go down... makes us a bit...quirky But seroiusly, would like to some day make something like that, if not from a CX then a CB twin maybe... or a Suzuki GS.
This thing has some proper punk in it. The NSU Bison. I`d like to see someone kickstart it and fail. 2000cc, one cylinder, probably enough to send an average man through the roof. Would be interesting to hear one of these in person.
OK Matt - your lightless excuse has been discredited. If Lefty or I were Mods you'd be in schit up to your nipple line for your grotesque threats. In fact you have been labelled a terrorist and once captured you will not be granted any legal support either.
Seems like the 450 class is getting lots of attention these days.
This is the latest adventure bike from CCM. Seems to be getting quite a bit of attention from the "overland" crowd. Though I personally think the price and weight will keep it a niche-market bike at best - despite all the this-is-the-bike-I've-always-wanted praise.

CCM I don't understand your angle. You have built this overly woozy bike - 130kg - super woozy frame - and marketed it as the adventure bike to upstage all. But you have only provided 40 hp. FFS - W T F am I going to do with that? If I could afford to play.
Unimpressed. You have to beat Guzzi power to weight ratios to capture my attention.
Since first seeing a picture of this highly customized Yamaha SR400 a few years back it has been the stuff of my dreams. The customizer is a Japanese company called Skull Motorcycles.
Bo, do you know how much a 690 goes for down your way? Because I paid $10K (US) out the door. Which only adds to my wonderment of a more expensive 450.
So based on your link and $15K estimate for the CCM that would still price it several thousand above the 690. I understand the on-paper rational, but I don't think people will open their checkbooks at that price difference.
Sprouty, my 690 has already cost me well over $15K, but it'd chew that CCM into tiny pieces and spit them into the dust too.
