$15k...what a deal!!!!!!!! :mellow:

[Deano]

Spent $20k building it ? :doobey: :shutup:

What a waste of money. A Hyosung 250cc motor ? :confused:

$15k asking price WTF ? :rofl::slap:

[ajturbo]

think it was a typo... i think he meant to say he spent 2k building it

[BoristheBiter]

:puke:

"Have not seen another Hyosung Chopper built from stratch everything hand made except engine, wheels, brakes. "


So he built a frame and a gas tank
OOOOO so impressed

[one fast tl1ooo]

So its still going to breakdown...

[Katman]

I'm not usually one for bagging other people's choice of bikes but sorry, that's just tragic.

[beyond]

I can't believe it!. I've waited all these years for someone to take the time and make the effort to build a Hyosung 250cc chopper and hey presto! Here it is and only $20K spent on it and all they want is $15K.

Man, what a steal. What an awesome looking bike. My dream has come true, Ubelievable!
I am the happiest man alive. Shit, I better start bidding before someone else snaps it up.










:sick::sick::sick:

[Madness]

It just so happens that I have a Corvette and I've been looking for a Korean powered, one-off motorcycle with dubious handling and reliability to swap it for. Thank god for the internet!.

Fuck off Paul, It's mine!

LOL :) Mate, honest, I want it. Don't bid.

[pritch]

That almost gives new meaning to the phrase, "It takes all sorts".

[Flip]

I can see DB on that, :shutup:

I don't usually poke the borax at other riders bikes but this looks like a goldplated turd.

Good luck with the bidding.

[DarkLord]

All that money and it looks as if it still has the plastic Shinko tyres on it.

If anyone buys that I hope they don't have to brake somewhat hard in wet weather.

[McWild]

Just imagine rocking up to the Mongrel Mob or Road Knights HQ on that.

Surely everyone would scramble away, hoping to retain their lives, if not their dignity, out of fear of whatever ruthless badass is sitting on top of the rumbling, merciless sound of that 250 v-twin.

Awww stop it please! That just makes me want to buy it even more.

[EJK]

Now THAT is a piece of epic engineering history.

[Blinkwing]

Now THAT is a piece of epic engineering history.

Because it's still in one piece?

[varminter]

It should have more pink bits then I'd like it even more. But then I like subdued sarcasm too.

[Wannabiker]

God thats just tragic.....:gob:

[awayatc]

Bit like building a model ship in a bottle........

[Suntoucher]

I can see maybe two thousand dollars worth of parts and professional labour plus a stripped down, crashed GT250. How the hell did he manage "well over" 20k?

Or does the 20k include living expenses in the 12 months it took him to build it?
There's a reason why you don't see custom 250cc choppers of ANY brand built from scratch.

Ahahahahaha, 20k. He'd be lucky to see the price of a regular Hyosung 250, bonus that it has carbs.

"The Bolt" because buying this will screw you, it sure as hell screwed me.

[SMOKEU]

All that money and it looks as if it still has the plastic Shinko tyres on it.

If anyone buys that I hope they don't have to brake somewhat hard in wet weather.

My Sport Demons are scary enough in the wet, I'd hate to think what those Shinkos are like.

[Jonno.]

Have not seen another Hyosung Chopper built from stratch everything hand made except engine, wheels, brakes.

:wari::wari::wari::wari::wari:

[imac]

You can't polish a turd

[SMOKEU]

You can't polish a turd

Speaking from experience?

[DMNTD]

You can't polish a turd

...but you can roll it in glitter :scooter:

[Stylo]

...but you can roll it in glitter :scooter:

I Heard Chris Carter's put a bid in, not sure though if the handling will be 100 though when his fat bottom boyfriend's livin' the dream parked up behind him.......some things never change

[Genie]

That is just wrong...on so many levels.

Would appeal to young testerone filled 16 year old....but it's not like he'd have the money.

Who would want to spend that much money on 250??? The village idiot springs to mind....if I was to see that I think I'd wet my pants laughing.

[skinman]

LMAO :lol:
10 char

[Katman]

How the hell did he manage "well over" 20k?



I think it's called 'over capitalising'.

[Wannabiker]

Most of the money must have been spent on the tank .... Waste of a good tank really.

The frame looks like the square section hyo frame been butchered with.....and the standard rear swing-arm is just hideous...at least he could have fabricated a swingarm...or made it a hardtail. ..Will be OK till it huts the first bump and falls to pieces....At least it wont be hitting the bump at speed with that 250 power-plant!!!

[imdying]

No better or worse than any other chopper I've seen :rolleyes:

[Big Dave]

The mini chopper generation have their full licences now.

[sinfull]

Was wondering why DB has been so quiet, he been over at west asian chopshops doin a course i see !

[Woodman]

Have unicycles gone out of fashion for clowns now???

[DarkLord]

My Sport Demons are scary enough in the wet, I'd hate to think what those Shinkos are like.

You don't want to try braking somewhat hard with the front brake in the wet on Shinkos. Believe me, I know. Cost me my first bike. :weep:

[Crazy Steve]

Nothing wrong with 005 Shinko's....

Or you can't ride for shit !

Crazy Steve.

[onearmedbandit]

...but you can roll it in glitter :scooter:

You mean Gary?

[MarkH]

"Have not seen another Hyosung Chopper built from scratch"

I wonder why that is? :whistle:

[Grubber]

Pure genius! I don't know anyone who could build a motorbike out of that engine...not even Hyosung!:sick:

[Banditbandit]

:sick: I looked at that while I was eating .. bad move ... that's just too much to stomach this early in the morning :weird:

[Robbo]

Could this be a Hyobag Chopper and would that be DB sitting astride it???

[DarkLord]

Nothing wrong with 005 Shinko's....

Or you can't ride for shit !

Crazy Steve.

Every single person I spoke to who owned/knew a bit about the Hyo's said to change the tyres as they are rubbish and are not very forgiving to people who may make n00b mistakes, such as myself as a learner rider at the time. Unfortunately for me I did not take their advice, tried braking somewhat hard in the wet and had an accident as a result. I am not solely blaming the tyres but better grip would have helped.

Besides, this was over two years ago, so keep your comments to yourself about other people's riding until you know the facts.

These are the FACT's DICKHEAD ! ! Shinko 005 NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM ! !

People on this site that are called fast and expereince riders have crashed trying to keep up with me on a bike wearing badly worn 005 Shinko's front and rear.

WANKER !

Crazy Steve.

[PrincessBandit]

Crazy's namesake, Dangerous, will be so touched to know he's so missed by so many who feel the need to keep him in the kb fold with these tender offerings.

[schrodingers cat]

Take a moment to look at this masterpiece again.
Does the syling suggest competant handling?:shit:

Funniest thing I ever saw was a Triumph chopper with ultra high apehanger bars. As soon as the rider tried to turn the thing the 5 -7 degree lag in the steering due to fork/handlebar flex became apparent. I guess that is life on the wide side

[MotoKuzzi]

I think it's called 'over capitalising'.

Insert an " r " in the right place and I think you've nailed it:innocent:

[gatch]

This has to be the most well thought out and engineered motorcycle ever constructed. Not only is it based on a machine of legendary performance and reliability, it's handling and styling have been enhanced to a demi-god like status.

I believe the fork rake is absolutely necessary to keep it in line while it is doing the ludicrous speeds it is destined to attain.

Also the art on the tank is actually a theft/vandalism deterrent. It will surely make any would be villain think twice about messing about with such a glorious example of 2 wheeled art in motion.

[rastuscat]

Yes, Chris will be bidding then taking sick leave. I guarantee that this bike will make him sick.

Luckily he has a double garage, maybe it will fit in sideways.

Chris's favourite Aunt Helen left town some time back, so Chris is looking for an alternative way to be interesting.

[Big Dave]

>>that is life <<

The consequences of such a statement by Schrodinger's Cat are doing my head in. Does it also mean such is death while being both and neither.

Well, good for you then. You're obviously far superior to everyone else. Feel like a big man now?

Fuck off. :tugger:

What exactly do you plan to achieve through calling me names and trying to insult me? You honestly sound like a 12 year old kid trying to prove to all of his mates how "tough and cool" he is.

Judging by your profile pic you are obviously slightly older than 12, so perhaps try a little bit of growing up for a change and take your Raj sized ego elsewhere.

Anyway, I know that any response from you is only going to be you trying to one up me again with "NO I R BETTER THAN U!!!11!!11!" so I will leave this conversation now. Maybe try and think before opening your trap in future.

[Lurch]

My new theory is that Crazy Steve is DB's spurned lover and is having trouble coming to grips with his absence. We're all here to help you through this tough time Steve.

[Swoop]

This explains why Harley Davidson had to sell off MV.
They had to get "lean and mean" so that the business can compete with this major threat to their bikes.





...and take your Raj sized ego elsewhere.
Now that IS an insult when you bring the walking egotist into it!:yes:

[Big Dave]

the walking egotist into it!:yes:

Meh. He's an amateur.

[schrodingers cat]

Pity a photo of this beauty wasn't posted on here for posterity.
For those who can remember, I actually saw the beast in all its glory today.
It was more appalling (thats right - not appealing) that the photos showed.
I'll see if I can ambush it and get a piccie...
