Im just being honest so don't flame me to hard.
This is a crazy sick build...I really like it when people FOCUS on the esthetics of there projects, i mean its the first thing we all see right? Could be the fastest, could be the best cornering, but if it doesn't LOOK right, its no good.
That being said...the gx200 bike, looked almost perfect...to me this bike is a step backwards (looks-wise). Its almost too big. Maybe its just the narrower wheels. And the motor, 600cc and only 20hp? Sh*t liquid cooled 50cc's are making 18hp. I mean yea its cool you got a v-twin in there...but jesus that motor weighs like 90lbs.
Its called the Law of diminishing returns...And i think that this bike is succumbing to it.
Dont get me wrong, im not trying to discourage you, or hate, or whatever. I am inspired by your work, so much that im sitting here thinking, Sh*t i want one of those! so i started thinking about it, really thinking. And this is the conclusion i've come to.
Im glad somebody built this. Props to you for taking the time, and money and making it happen. It just wouldn't fit my needs for a bike. The only difference is that you can ride on the highway. But here in so-cal our highways are really sh*tty and i couldn't imagine riding a hard-tail at 70mph surrounded by idiots on there cellphone going over huge potholes, jumps, and avoiding all the sh*t that falls out of peoples trucks.
The reason we love Motorized bicycles, is because there cheap, light, quick, and too much fun...This is not a motorized bicycle, its a motorcycle, so i have to look at it from that standpoint.
The only reason i am posting this, is not the make you feel bad. Just the other people that see this, and think, "d*mn i gotta have it". Really think about what this thing is...
I hope this post comes out right, I really am a fan of your work, Im just trying to look at logically and rationally. And art isn't always logical or rational.
