One man's trash is another man's... well, trash actually. Yet another in the endless parade of examples of things that make sense only to their creator.

$20,500???






It's nicely executed if that is your thing..... but $20K+ for a removing a bunch of original pieces, painting it all black and fitting knobby tires and a plank seat???

I think it would struggle to sell for half that. The public rarely pays for customs, been there done that, learned that I made -$10.00 per hour on every one I made no matter how beautiful or the quality of  the parts or build.

Customs are a labour of love, beats drinking some days and golf any day, but like drinking and golf ain't no one going to pay me for doing either.

 OK , look I am an airhead guy , love the dang ill handling things , warts and all. But this thing is worth maybe $1,500.00, emphasis on the maybe,  if it runs well . We have been seeing more and more of these bikes butchered , the sellers usually making crazy claims about the builder being a famous BMW guru . Fact is , no "famous" BMW guy , someone like Matt Parkhouse , or Todd Rasmussen , would ever create something like this . Sorry , will someone please make the madness stop  :sad:

Well.....technicall y.  They are motorcycles.  No sure if the seats would pass though.  Depends on the state requirements on Reconstruct motorcycles.  Plus, I don't see mirrors and/or all the rest of the lights.  Pictures not detailed enough.

Well, it's easier to title and insure in Montana using a 'motor voter' LLC or similar means to establish residency there. Not an uncommon approach for builders of customs given Montana's (shall we say) 'flexibility' on registering vehicles that are not common manufactured machines. I've known a couple of builders in Nevada and California who used Montana and Idaho as locations to register their creations.

A title for a bike from a different state than the one you live in would indicate to me that there may be problems to look for.  Definitely something to check out.

What's astounding is that this piece of crap has a Suzuki 650 motor, is titled as a BMW R60, and has been bid up to $2850.   :shocked:
