I’m totally freaking speechless on this one
This is a copy from an Advnture Rider thread I stumbled across. Now this is some wild freaking stuff. Backyard V8… errr….Choppers? Customs? Judge for yourself…
“I was passing this guys place last spring in AZ. and the TIRE caught my eye…had to go back and check it out.
I had a business card from the guy but missplaced it….He has a little cafe a few miles out of Globe AZ. on the mtn. pass. Has a shop adjacent to the little cafe…real nice guy. He is big and bad ass enough to ride these brutes! He builds them from scratch, obviously….Here’s a few more pics. of some other bikes he’s done and doing…..He’s started building bikes in the 60’s. He had a photo of a twin V-8 bike he built in the 70’s.“

MZ Mastiff Motard.

One Clean Honda Hawk GT. Oh what might have been….
It’s always been strange to me that a few years after Honda completly gave up on this excellent motorcycle that Suzuki introduced the wildly successful SV650 (in 3 different formats: naked, sport-faired and Adventure DL model) which was answered years later by Kawasaki with the Ninja 650 lineup…. including the “Bike of the year” Versys varient. Obviously Honda pulled the plug way too quickly and with much to little support leaving the field wide open to he rest of the players (although yamaha is trying with the 4 cylinder FZ6 but they’re not there yet). Shrewd move there Honda…. What’s sad is that a mildly updated version of this exact bike would STILL be competitive in the marketplace. Whatever… shrug..
