    there was a road registered motarded CR500 on tardme a year or so back. which would have been fun.

    as to that you can ride it if you can start it thing, I had that from a guy with an XT500 which I started fine. I then turned it off after my ride and couldnt get it going again. LOLOL

    Why not. The builder had a picture of what he wanted to ride in mind, and set to work.

    The price is right for a GN with live plates, and anyone wanting to build a chopper has something to start at.

    It'll be slow and poo to ride, but could be done well to look cool...if you think Peter Fonda looked cool in Easy rider.

    Looks to me like the frame is just too small for that style of chopper and rather than being able to stretch the legs out to the pegs, it will be a bit cramped like.

    The billy bike was cool. My favourite EASY RIDERS story has t do with the purple leathers Fonda is wearing being custom dyed and him sweating so much in them that his legs and his junk were dyed purple. Stupid film with some cool bits IMO

    The plate may well be live but the frame would definitely require certifying to ever have it legally on the road.

    One of the biggest cinematic disappointments ever. The dialogue in the ads sounded cool. It turned out though that the ads comprised almost the entire dialogue of the movie.

    Still, it was a movie featurng bikes.

    Check out Freebird (2008), much better.

    It should do, but VTNZ wouldn't look twice in reality.

    It's been my consistent experience that (just about, excluding a Puch) every bike looks bad ass in the garage.

    But then, I am old
