This bike is insane. I wouldn’t not want to ride it, I would not want to own it, I could never build it. And I respect the hell out of the guy that went ahead and did it.
At one point the guy calls it a 70s hell on wheels gothic nightmare. That seems accurate.

I have a neighbor with a garage full of GT750’s. He rips them past my house every day. I got a thumbs up from a guy walking a baby around while taking the Yamaha out for a spin. I live in a Mad Max neighborhood.

My biggest problem with motorcycles is that I always feel like I’m going to fall off the back of them.
So, with that deep pocket of a seat, I think I’d ride it. Nowhere near as fast as he is, but I’d give it a go.

Ride a slow enduro.
I’m more worried about sliding forward when breaking than sliding off the back lol

I dont like riding cruisers as it is. Especially cruisers with alot of rake in the forks. I imagine the wonky handling of a chopper would be even more pronounced .

Enduros (or dual sports) are the only motorcycles that still tempt me. The don’t sound like the most fun on paved streets though, and I’m surrounded by pavement.

My XT is still lots of fun on the road. And it’s got some pretty aggressive aftermarket tires. If I’m cornering at above 55mph the front tire will occasionally wobble a bit. However Most little dual sports come with tires that are 80% for pavement that should take care of that. You could always go with a full smith tire, or even supermoto set up too.
