I couldn't have said it better myself.

Col. Sir Buffy Horsetrouser You're missing the point, this is Art over function. It was never meant to be the next CBR, KTM 450 EXC etc.... The world is a better place for having something like this in it. Can you imagine living in a place where everything was just was made up of purely passionless, functional things? What a boring and soul killing place that would be.

@@LuckyPause3d Everybody trying to out think themselves here. Trying to debate the importance of it actually being a functional bike. If that's what makes this a fail then there is an awful lot of really uncomfortable, impractical stuff that has already slipped thru and awed the people that are all caught up in custom bikes. It obviously is rolling art if you choose to see it as that. It doesn't have a whole lot of redeeming qualities as a functional and practical bike. I wouldn't want to count on that back tire at speed in a corner or a straight line for that matter. Maybe it's an ode to the old board track racers. I wonder about the capabilities of those tires but then i think of the tires on a Bugatti and their suitability to go 200mph. In reality it's an advertising campaign and it's not the only one. I just scrolled past another video of another possibly even weirder bike for Akropovic. It's really pretty much the same thing as what was built on American Choppers for a number of successful seasons. Corporate symbols showing the "hipness" of the company that commissioned it. I'd be shocked to see that this thing has been licenced and street ridden more than just a few blasts across a parking lot, across a stage or tooling the streets in an industrial park. It's destiny is likely to be on display in the lobby of Akrapovic's Corporate Headquarters.

V-twin with a straight pipe does sound like a lawn mower on idle but in a smaller scale

so fucking irritating

They're different focus points...

SimpleVillain You cling to

+SimpleVillain Thank you!! I opened the link in KZfaq just to make that same comment. These idiot cameramen who think that extreme depth of focus is so cool!! Fucking wankers!!!

+SimpleVillain cameraman is a hipster and just found out about filters

Great comment :D

Adamond Ave Thanks, I try.

+Josh Lewis Exactly what I was thinking. Might as well attach a sail to it.

+Josh Lewis And u have your balls still on after long ride on this small seat.

Not to mention wouldnt want to crank 112 cubes with a 10 speed tire !! Pretty sure thatd be kinda squirly

I was just wondering why i'm watching this video

cause it's a piece of art? custom? nobody has it? it fuckin'n gorgeus? now, go and buy yourself Yamaha. cheers

samborac46 I think what you tried to say was Honda

samborac46 Lol it's engineering and it needs to work, art second. Function and form.

This is a show bike...like a collector bike...you will never see this bike on the streets

a-SkepticalMan Aw man, you killed me! Ahaha!

+Phu Thịnh Nguyen It's annoying.

+Phu Thịnh Nguyen even shazam doenst know it :I

Csaba Torok When?

It's a nice looking bike though.

You had your speakers on right? Who cares about the wheels and lights! It looks and sounds amazing!

looks and sound are irrelevant as a piece of art it looks great as a motorcycle its totally useless and a waste of a good engine

nicky howard I had the sound on... the sound stinks! It sounds like it's in need of more than just a good adjustment. Horrible!

nicky howard You do realise the purpose of a motorcycle right? its meant to be ridden as in moving ! you can get away with solid wheels on a car because of the inherent stability of having 4 wheels. On 2 inline wheels as per most motorcycles stability is everything and the worst thing you can do is use solid wheels because as soon as you get a strong crosswind your very nice artsy fartsy bike is going to be on its side in a ditch.

Ehm, what good engine?

Shh

Most underrated comment ever!! Let me dislike.

+truantray There is a rear brake. It's using sprocket as a discbrake, you can see the calipers at 1:18 - 1:20

I agree with you. It's no doubt what we're seeing here is jealousy that oozes from the fingertips of the ignorant. That's my take anyway.

Tony Roach I'll be glad to see this video reshot when the weather is warmer and you can get that motor kicking out some louder notes at higher rpms.
