    Yeah but a lot of haters on the original look of the XJ... Coffee grinder rims...Grrrrrrr I think they look cool. Bummer is watch our bikes disappear in favor of being chopped and customised.

    I'm not a bobber fan, but it looks cool. And I'm with vintagerice - I hate to see these great old bikes turn into a cheap starting point for custom bike builders.


    Here's the link for the full article (for when its removed from the front page of the site)

    C'mon now. Us custom bikers gotta have somewhere to start. XJs are cheap now. Here in twenty years GSXRs will be cheap. I bet you can find an M109 in twenty years under 1 grand. Shoot, in time, everything will be considered a classic or an antique. Just look at BigFitz! o.o
    Agreed though, not a fan of most chopped bikes. I personally would never chop one. My custom looking stock 700 is quite nice ty :D

    Can't really agree that folks that customize a bike hate the looks of the original. I can REALLY appreciate the looks of a stock '32 Ford, but I have seen a few '32 highboys that I would give my left.....uhhh.....you know what I mean...

    No but Skillet... in this article the guy was bashing the XJ and the comments from readers seemed pretty harsh.

    To each his own I guess.
