Talking The Gives-You-Chest-Hair Chopper, Bobber, or Otherwise Awesome Motorcycles Thread

Inspired by the swap thread. And ShervinRRR.

I've been perusing a few decent blogs about bikes, hellforleather.com, bikeexif.com (which is quickly growing to be my absolute favorite) and I wanted to see if BAIC is into sweeeet, sexy 2-wheeled machines. I welcome all makes, styles and influences, but if you're going to post some all-billet crap piece some dip**** celebrity overpaid for, I-we will knock you.

The Psyclone







usually I'm not a big fan of yellow. You can thank the ITR and subsequent ricer crowds for that, but my god this is a sweet cycle. It's a replica, so not a $200K Cyclone

full article here. it's a good read, and the author is local too.

Love the little logo decal guy on the tank, it reminds me of the robo-devil from Futurama.

i was just about to enjoy this thread until i read R1 :|

I have a list of motorcycles to get before these though.

I want a 2010 KTM Duke
Triumph Scrambler
I don't like Harley Davidson mostly because of who rides them, but I like the new "48 Sportster" I must say.

If I were to hack an old bike, I would find a Yamaha 600 thumper and go from there.

I can agree with that. This, I guess, is more or less a motorcycles aesthetics appreciation thread.
