    The building of this Bike got an awful lot of attention by the Motorcycle Press.
    Now, it's for sale to the guy who wants it the most!

    Buy it now ... $26,000.00

    Twenty-six Grand.
    Phew.
    (I wonder how it would do against my 900 after I pulled an all-nighter and put the 900 on the hairy edge???)

    I'm pretty sure your 900 will handle better that that bike Rick - have another look and you'll see he's used the old 16" Hog Rim on the back. A BAD relic from the cruising 70's.....

    I wonder if it comes with the hottie in the pic? Buy a bike, get a hottie maybe?

    Personally, i have seen cafe style bikes that looked a hell of a lot better than that. It just looks way overdone. Would only buy that bike if i could turn a profit.

    Way way overdone; and the original subject was a bit of a sled to begin with. Yes it's cute and the workmanship is meticulous but there is just way too much. Nothing more than an expensive poseur.

    It's one of the original Carpy bikes... So yeah, it's gonna be expensive. But I'm not sure the cafe scene is quite at $26,000.00 yet...

    If it sells for that I'm ditching Cafe bikes. LoL

    That bike looks so uncomfortable to me. The only way I'd fork up that kind of scratch is if the babe comes with the bike. I'd park the bike and ride the babe. :twisted:
