Well, surely there's no joy to be had from riding something with a steering angle of 40something degrees and a silage pump for an engine?
I think you'll find that's a posing platform for a recently divorced 50yr old thinking he'd have a chance of impressing a Palmerston north teenager that he's like those dangerous bad boys on that TV show grandfathers of antiquity, or sons of dickheaditry or whatever.
Grrr.
And so it begins.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

I'm sure the owner of this bike has had at least as much, or possibly more joy from riding this bike as any grow man would get from "racing" a scruffy ageing commuter bike with slightly less horsepower than a decent curry fart.
I think you'll find they are pretend super bikes for nerdy weirdos that can't pull a chick, thinking he might impress a moto gp team boss that he can ride like Marc Marquez, but in reality is just riding around in slow circles because the truth is that he is scared of riding real bikes at real speeds, while posting about it all over the internet in threads that should be titled, "ESE's 1200 ways to make a commuter bike produce the same horsepower as your farts"
LOL
And so it continues.

If that were true he wouldn't be selling it.
At half the exorbitant 50k build cost no less.
I think that's kinda finished.

I would go along with it if I hadn't seen a multi NZ superbike champ getting the run around by a yokel on a bucket when riding equal machines.
Some might question your need for the trainer wheels on your racebike but I am not that mean.
Supposedly the Guy on bike 71 is some form of decent big bike rider of sorts.

Great example. Ask around what happened when Choppa built a bike and took it to Kaitoke. Bucket fags were all well excited at the prospect of beating a superbike contender, can't think of any who did though.

All due respect to Choppa he is not Dennis Charlet Bike (71)
He may have ridden in the same Class of racing but he wasn't the same class of rider.

I've been to plenty of meetings where the opposite has happened as well

I don't doubt it. I am average on a real bike, but I battle for last place on a bucket. Watching vids of fast guys on small bikes, it seems I move my weight too much and take powerful bike lines. Haven't been tempted to go find out if that knowledge would make any difference though. I'm happy to accept that I suck at riding pretend bikes.

it beats me how it cost $50 k to build, wheels $4k frame $3k motor $10-15k tank $1K other fittings $25-30K, really? someones clipping the ticket bad.

I'd be mildly surprised if he ever rode that thing at all. The ad says it has never been registered and the only mileage it has done was travelling to shows - and that was probably on a trailer.
More than one motorcyclist of my acquaintance consider Harley riders as being more into posing than riding. I'm sure there are some such but that is too broad a brush, some Harley riders I know do a lot of miles. But whoever buys that thing would surely have posing as the priority, such people do exist.

People buy art for a lot more than 50k. The amount of money is only an issue if your lacking in it.
If building a bike gives him enjoyment and now he has lost interest and seeks a partial return then so be it.
Its not my kind of bike but if I was a multi millionaire with the warehouse size garage I might be tempted just to have a supercharged Harley. I would put a trailer on it though.

I haven't really ridden big bikes but watching them and depending on the track they seem much more point and squirt, small stuff corner speed is everything, it's all about keeping up the momentum

He came to like one meet and no one really fast was there. Then in typical choppa style sold up. And yeah he did pass me. On my 50. So he was going OK.
