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.
So what? I am not claiming to have built the bikes, or even photographed them. Yes they are from BikeEXIF, though not all the bikes I have posted on this thread are from BikeEXIF. I intend to "steal" and post other stuff in the future too. I do not consider it necessary to list a source of references unless I am using another's material to substantiate a claim of my own.
The Guzzi was a schitstir Lefty, I reckon it's an eyesore too. How were so many able to predict your pyrotechnical response? There will be other Guzzi's in the future.
looks like the second and third ones have something against sitting while riding. I appricate the craftsmanship just could never figure out a seat you wouln't want to ride a block let alone further.
I am still missing something here. Lefty has had this love affair with the Italian Goose for years and owns seven or eight I've heard. Yet when a goose of such beauty comes along on this thread he threatens to burn it. Not only the beautiful Goose but the owner. What's up with that?
With respect to the Bike in Post#4, no need to worry over taking any "Rest Stops"... although traction may suffer.

Serious note: I like ALL bikes, and try to appreciate the work and effort involved, etc. But.... maybe Custom Bikes / Bikes for "ART" should require a placard that begins with: "This bike would be used for...."
Just so you know Lefty, I regard the 750 Agusta engine as the epitome of motorcycling beauty. I believe I can empathise with your Guzzi responses when I look at this project by Shinya Kimura's. .
Regaurding the first few pics in this thread. I never understood why people create bikes like that. they remind me of the bitch bikes I built from scrap parts just so I could have something to ride when I couldnt afford something nice. the only difference is these people actually paint thier junkers whith more than a spray can!!!
Sorry but I dont see the attraction and they certainly dont blow my hair back!
I may be in the minority here, I quite like the stripped down look for motorcycles. And just like a beautifully crafted guitar where choosing the grain and beauty of the wood is part of the craft, I like to see the metal in bikes.
This is an older thread, you may not receive a response, and could be reviving an old thread. Please consider creating a new thread.
