    You mean to tell me that there isn't one motorcycle manufacturing engineer that doesn't have the creativity to come up with a sweet bike like that one WTF !!! Well done !!! Wish I had one too!

      I think it will always be determined by how a bike would sell. Companies would make any bike you can imagine if it would sell like they want it too.

    Much respect for machining new brackets to go right onto the old subframe mounts. I bet it made your life much easier.

  • @afreemanreigns
    @afreemanreigns 6 років тому +67

    Personally for me @ 5:31 the bike/build was the sharpest. There was something about that old Honda tank left alone on it's new found body, dam sexy, raw, with a unique sense of power. A serious weapon on many fronts, would love to rip up the streets and run from the corps (corporate police) or take it to a local flat track race. That subframe is a work of art, what would that cost?

    I just want to throw in my opinion and say this is potentially the best thing i have ever seen. Would love to have seen some fly by videos. I am in the unfortunate position where i have the skills but none of the machinery to do these projects. I have a 2007 ktm 300 supermoto at the moment and would absolutely love to do this to it. I read your blog write up on your website and it was fantastic. I wondered how you managed to lower the forks so much and retain full function. Hats off to sir. Keep up the good work.

One year, the hometown boy, Mike Gerald won it, and was televised on ABC Wide World of Sports. Yeah, I’m old.

    Great bike, great clip, no tedious commentary and the music wasn't overdone, well done.
    KTM make fantastic bikes that, especially their road models, are so eye wateringly ugly that I seriously couldn't own one, so anyone capable of making a kato actually look good is a genius and, with so much to be done, a bloody hard worker! One question, with all that steel fabrication, what the hell does the subframe, and finished bike, weigh?

AMAZING BIKE, BUILD, ART.
