I'd like to now what they do with all of their titanium scrap and how much they spend on Titanium before they add labor costs. All of the stuff I've purchased from them has been absolute jewelry.

i'd like to see that second bike in its finished state. very... interesting looking.

and those look like over swingers?

I'd be so pissed if I scraped up that pretty exhaust in the third picture...

Titanium like that is a SOLID investment in today's uncertain economy. Should be good as gold for cash in the future.

WHY DOESN'T GM and everyone else start making parts like this???

It would make some sweet sparks!

Even I can appreciate that. Wow. I like scraped-up, ratted-out, ding-infested bikes, but...wow. Holy headpipe. Interesting clutch arrangement in photo 3 too; sort of an exposed clutch basket with that little protective spider thing over it...

Very Cool!

It's a takegawa dry clutch with a custom hydraulic actuator.

Z, what does something like that cost to build...the whole bike...2nd and 3rd picture.

Twister773 · 04-24-2009, 06:12 PM

Too many one-off parts to tell. Way north of $10,000. Figure $5K in each of those engines alone. Expensive list of rolling art.

The bike in the second pic is easily duplicated but not light on the wallet.

The 3rd pic is full of custom fabrication including a heavily modified G-craft frameset and cut down KSR110 forks.

Cool bikes.

1st bike reminds me of a bimota style frame setup

Adam z50+R · 04-25-2009, 03:17 AM
