Errr...
Kinda reminds me of the choppers and stuff of the 70s. Too much form over function for my tastes.

I like it in a 'totally impractical, cartoon bike' sort of way. The length of the chain is a bit and I wouldn't want to go round any bends on it. But hey, if bobbers float anyone's boat then that's as bobber as they come.

I'm not that keen on it as art.
And it will be horrible to ride, I don't need to explain the 1000 reaons why.
I suppose the SR motor will offend the purists who can't abide anything other than traditionally horrible bobbers - so I suppose it has that going for it.

Dunno about art but it wouldn't look out of place if Roger the Rabbit was riding it around Toontown.DefTrap wrote: ↑Tue Sep 13, 2022 12:17 pm I'm not that keen on it as art.

If you want it to look at and it's your taste then great. But that isn't a bike for riding !
