people who love highly tuned smokers don't usually want tractor tyres on them
I don't understand why anyone would want sub optimal tyres on their bike. For me tyres are about grip/longevity. If the balloon or tractor tyres people put on hipster bikes work then fair play, but surely they can't? My mate has knobblies on his 690 Enduro cos it's an Enduro, the tyres def are a limiting factor on the road so
don't know why you'd do that for a hipster bike .
You don't get it?
Put simply, Hipster bikes are not about riding, they are about being seen. Form over function 100%

Basically just ride it through tunnels and you're pretty much done.

Needs something doing with the seat/back end, but I like that... I bet it's fricken loud!

You'd need to be on point if you rocked up to a trackday with that baby.

After seeing the Electric Harley in the vid posted on the long way up thread, I thought I'd have a closer look...VIDEO

£6K for a track bike - don't be daft, a £1K bike is just as much fun on track, if not more, passing an Aprillia RSV4 on a 30 year old FZR400 is great

A dismantled Ariel 3 may be just the bike for the faint hearted.

Some interesting stuff in there!
Mocket Martini XS11
Original bulbous Super Wet 250
The Morini 3 1/2 - the red paint has faded badly
Even bland can be a type of character
