interesting idea... I wonder where one is supposed to put their feet, and how you shift, brake, etc...
These photos were posted a long time ago before the bike was finished. The guy was here looking for help with the issue of bypassing the computer system to get the bike to run. I'm sure that the finished product has pegs, a shifter and foot brake.

While you may not like the style, you have to admire the craftsmanship. Building a bike from scratch would not be an easy task and this guy, whether you like it or not, has some skills...

I'd certainly respect his skills, but as regards his tastes, well that's a different matter.

What on earth is the connection between "Michael Schumachers winning Ferrari Formula One car" and a chopper with a 3 cylinder Brittish engine? I don't care what it looks like, some things are just wrong! :asb:
I have to agree. The concept of celebrating a german driver winning F1 on an italian sportscar with an US style chopper running with a british engine is a bit far out there.

A for effort
D for general concept
C- for excecution

The liberal use of Ferrari logos is also quite tacky. A bit like sticking a Lamborghini badge on a Lada.

NO, NO, NO, !!!!!!!

This is so AWFUL I won't be able to eat for weeks.

Leave these beautiful engines alone and use Cheviy V8s or bastardise GSX motors if you must, but don't call it a bike if it won't go around corners.
