Holy fuck that is terrible. When you do find a sucker to buy it post a pic of that dude, I want to see what a retarded hipster space alien looks like. They must have really awesome drugs in Chi-town. I mean just fucking interstellar level mind altering substances.


What happened to the constantly vomiting emoticon? did we get rid of it? or am I thinking of another board? It would be perfect right now.
Have you ridden the bike, like anywhere, at all? Have you tuned it after ditching the exhaust and airbox?

To be fair, I could see this bike being ideally suited to a dude that weighs about 400 pounds, that has short legs and long arms. Like a Gorilla/Orangutan.

Danger, is my business.
decent set of mini apes and some more padding in the seat and it's not a bad chopper.
It just needs a few minor tweeks...

To be fair, the travesty is partly Yamaha's — the original XS1100 standard had such pretty lines.

Yeah I'm a big fan. Although I do enjoy the handling of the special over the standard oddly...
A pair of superbike bars and a muffler and that thing is rideable.

At least the bars would be easy - doesn't look like he's shortened any of the cables.

+1 for decent pods........but overall the bike is still in negative territory.
The bike isn't bad...for 1500. But 3500??? Your on crack.
Yeah - I didn't actually bother to look at the price....
