Having said that, I absolutely despise those stretched American bikes where they take a Hyabusa or ZZR1400, extend the swing arm, fit a balloon to the rear wheel and remove one of the front discs for “style.” I find that just idiotic. Redneck engineering a performance bike into something pathetic.
Mate - that bike is ‘Captain America’ from the film ‘Easy Rider’ - probably the most iconic motorbike in cinema history, and a 1960’s counter cultural icon!
I’m not into custom chopped bikes but If I found that in my garage I would be shocked, amazed and very happy
You guys and gals have focused my mind on this a bit…
I would have said a Kawasaki Drifter or any Jap Harley Copy ( Harleys are bad enough but a Copy of a **** bike is tooo much)
But I can define it better now,
cough
“Any motorcycle that has been built OR modified in such a way that it’s handling or speed has suffered and it looks ridiculous”
There that covers bobbers and choppers and cruisers and dragsters (Busas with steamroler rear tyres and rear hangers as long as a bowling alley) and nearly all cruisers ( except for the Moto Guzzi Californian (original T3 from the 70’s and the latest version which looks cool ) AND the Trumpet Rocket 3 which somehow seems to transcend cruiser naffness)
