I found this wonderfull one at a bike night. Oh and its FOR SALE

Its GRAND and its been rumored Trip is going to trade his GS for it.

What you got?

GM,

Did you seriously just start a thread making fun of someone who customized his bike? :scratch:

Maybe you're right; wide tires, chrome, flashy paint and other nonessential bits are a sign of stupidity. :poke:

Yep, why? Got a problem? More specifically its a thread on stupid bikes and this was my input for the day. Don't like... buzz off!

Its the anti-trip factor. That bike wasn't intended for it to be that way with a 330 tire. At least put the big tire for more grip due to big motor mods.

Some people think custom metric cruisers are shitboxes.

Others feel the same about Harleys.

Chrome on Ducatis.

Streetfighters.

Etc...

In my submission its a matter of loosing sight of the bikes purpose. That type of custom would be good on a cruiser or chopper or as said... if that bike was a dragster with major motor mods.

I have read that those 330 kits can cost up to 40rwhp, so it would never go on a dragster.

Perhaps for more traction with nos and turbo??

But from what you're saying... equals more stupid.

Nope.

Looks alone.

The tires available in those sizes are worthless.

You'd get better traction with a 200mm DOT race tire on a stock rim.

Devil's Advocate but isn't the whole point of customizing the transformation of one type of vehicle into another? Otherwise you are just "enhancing" the bike's normal tendencies.

Example; my bike- not a custom. I enhanced the bike's stock nature by adding rearsets, brake lines, suspension bits, etc.

Example; GM's bike- not a custom. He enhanced the bike's nature by adding more chrome, etc.

Example; This ugly fucking 'Busa- total custom. He took a crotch rocket/potential drag bike and turned it into a blvd cruiser. Not my cup of tea but you cannot deny that it's a custom bike.:idk:

Besides, who made the rule that all 'Busas have to be made into "drag bikes" or super sport tourers to be acceptable?
