OMG...

Most definitely NOT mine... Why do people do this?

I guess it STARTED life as a Katana.

Right arm!:bunny2

What's the biggest size back tire I can put on a Katana, and where do I find a toilet vent pipe like that one?

[TRPUT]

My guess is he's selling it 'cos it rides like shit - if in fact it's ride-able at all. Not much ground clearance. $8500 sounds like a bargain for a fucked-up ugly bike with a rain gauge as an exhaust.

[tenchu]

That's 1 ugly bike . To me it looks like someone had an idea in there head that really never made it to the real world.

Haha I think it's interesting! Alot of craftsmanship but
Again practical not really. Def unique for like bike shows. But hey up side u can get to the carbs and stuff without doing anything!

[Stumpy]

While I like the colour, and appreciate the work involved - that looks like prime material for the crusher. $8500? Having a laugh!

While I can appreciate the amount of work and time involved.. beauty is, after all, is in the eye of the beholder. I personally would douse it with a can of gas and put a match to it... What cracks me up is guy dump a ton of cash into a custom bike and then think they can make all their money back when they try and sell it.. once you go that custom.. it's yours.. it'll never sell.

Great craftsmanship, functionality gone, price too high for a parts bike. Unfortunately, he will drop his price and some fool will buy it, only to end up either using it as a show piece, crashing it, parting it out or using it for parts.

[Stumpy]

Also - I'm not familiar with that brand of tyre - but the front looks like it's mounted the wrong way round. What gives there?

[92xjunker]

It's the correct direction, your front tread is opposite the rear.

[Kreylyn]

The custom "fender mod" they did putting it on backwards makes it look odd to you.

Personally... I like it, for a fighter.

I mean... really, THATS a fighter... not just some bike with the fairing left off. It not only looks like a fighter, but I bet it puts up a hell of a fight to ride it too!

When I look at it I try and picture what kind of lean angle you might get with that frame...

I envision about a 50 turning circle.

[Suzukirider09]

I could see some major back pains from trying to sit in that seat to long

[cfrewilly]

I agree with the craftmanship and the design idea. It is a garage queen and bike night bike at best. I doubt he even jetted the carbs and you know it sounds like crap, I don't get the 1976 front end. The tire is backwards along with the chain adjusters and the big one for me is NO rearbrake pedal????
