This is the coolest custom motorcycle I have seen this year - BTW its electric

[HenryDorsetCase]

And I'm young and hip, so I think my word on what's cool or not is a little more valid than an old man trying to pass a toaster off as a motorbike.

Well played.

You're so hip its a wonder you can keep trousers on.

[Grumph]

Not stock. Stock it's hideous. But strip it down, remove the fluff and you got yourself the Mona Lisa of engineering right there.

No - simply no. You don't. A pushrod 4V arrangement where the heads are twisted to make it work ? No.
A rational engineer could make a CX engine about half the size and weight Honda did. And more reliable.

Speaking of electric things....

I was in the Viaduct having a staff meeting ( coffee and cake) on the waterfront and noticed the sudden appearance of Lime Scooters.

They look like a bit of fun, whizzing thru the crowds at 27kmph in helmetless glory cutting a swathe thru plugged in screen walking dead

wandering the inner city in search of the agile dream and next uber eat gig.

But 30 cents a minute..... thats a dollar waiting for the lights to change, add that to your smashed avocado soy milk trim white latte in reusable

cup, Netflix etc...... nickel'd and dime'd to death they say.

It's hard too around your wife.

But it wouldn't look cool. Which is the point.

Shit Dave that was a low blow!!!

I never understood WTF they were thinking with that design. I've not checked but I would suspect they may actually be worth buying as a rising investment due to absolute rarity. Alternatively the motorcycle world that shunned them may wisely continue to.....

Some time back I saw a custom based on that disaster - the custom was a nice bike - obviously they threw away the shit!

What's wrong with the original? OK here's another.

No "young and hip" one you have a turd.

[WALRUS]

It's so ugly though.

Your first post on KB was lauding the CX500 as some sort of pinnacle of cool and design. Therefore, you have no clue. Sit down, shut up, and let the grownups talk, son, you might learn something.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to HenryDorsetCase again.

Yeah, but despite them being heavy, and fugly, all you need to do is put a brown (possibly quilted) seat on it and some ghastly straight through exhaust and then you can be an edgy individual like all the other 12 year olds with their CX's and GN's :P

I genuinely can't tell if "Fresh Oats" is legit or if they're someone who has been on KB for a while now and made a dummy account to jump in and say all the right things to piss everyone off haha!

Well not abusive enough and too knowledgable to be axehole, maybe Crasher?
we could start a poll?

[pritch]

HDC I usually find your taste in matters motorcycling to be entirely acceptable but in the case of the electric ball crusher you have erred. I'm almost moved to agree with Fresh Oats. Almost.

Bimota produce some stunning bikes. That's not one of them

[Fresh Oats]

That's super nice.
Kinda looks like if a ducati monster came in 125cc though.

I would just like to point out for the group that for all your guys hate towards brown seats, the bike this thread is about has a brown seat.

And seriously, the CX500 engine IS stunning to look at. Like, I understand it's a shit design and there's a reason why there's no other bike with weirdly twisted headers probably for a good reason. BUT that's what's cool about it. It looks amazing and it's unique. It's like a classic car. Sure, a Ford Mondeo is gonna be more comfortable, more practical for daily use, cheaper to repair etc.. etc.. BUT there's a reason why people buy classic cars, because they're fuking cool and striking to look at.

[george formby]

I hope nobody minds if I throw these brown seats into the mix. Light and perky..

CCM

I'm not sure if the flat tracker or Spitfire tickles the most.

[Grumph]

Both tickle the gag reflex....When did motorcycles become fashion accessories ? Did I not get the memo ?
