    Yeah, well, it doesn't do it for me sorry.

    The Honda-commissioned VTX Cafe Racer Jess James built is still, for me, the pinnacle of a chopped bike.

    Its turned a strong cruiser motor into a pretty decent looking sprotsbike, and its beautiful as well.

    And check out that rear brake rotor. Just mad...
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    - James Dickey, Cherrylog Road.

    Only my opinion....but 'choppers' as well all know are mostly built to look at, and the Ducati motor while a good motor, is hardly pleasing to the eye.

    Hence most 'builders' use a Harley, or Harley derived motor....the 45 deg twin is a nice looking power unit.....as is the big Honda motor shown here.....90 deg twins are not really pretty....

    Bloody awesome. Most people dont realise how much work goes into thinking up
    some thing like that let alone building one.
    Nothing exceeds like excess.

    Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
