Saw this bike in the latest issue of Dirt Bike. It is a work of art. I found myself wondering what it would fetch if it went up for sale-guess we will find out in 8 days!

What a God awful turd looking bike. I can't wait for the matte/ghosted trend to disappear. Deegan owns that look like Mike Tyson owns the face tattoo, everyone else should just let it be...

Hopefully MPS didn't have anything to do with this.

Slipdog, what about the build itself? Thoughts, graphics aside? You would obviously have a respected opinion on this thing.

Oh hell yeah, that thing is a work of art!

Luckily for the high bidder, if they so choose, the outer appearance can be made as beautiful as the detail work for around $200

I mean, styles change and everyone makes bad decisions on what they think looks good. Can you imagine what all the middle-aged guys thought of me in the '90s??? BlinkSickLaughing

that gear would sell for more currently than it did in the 90s.

I actually think this bike is exceptional.

Looking at the price I must not be the only one thinking that way !

Craftsmanship is sweeet! Homeboy said bike has a value of $60,000 on ebay listing???????????? Lots of sponsors are on the listing. Did they give this guy free parts for the build? I thought the magazine and owner were going to have videos of this thing and its already being sold? any insider info on why

What an incredibly difficult task.
That's actually why I won't buy it.

I can't afford it but even if I could I would do something else with my money. There's so many one-off hand made parts on that bike that if you ever ride it and wreck it your S.O.L. Pipe, tank, silencer, subframe, kickstarter, radiators, motor mounts, cylinder fab work, etc.

You might as well build your own with readily available parts unless you buy it to display.

It says there's 3 hours of run time on it. The free parts started coming in after he got a following on social media. With 23.4K Instagram followers that's easy and cheap advertising for $100-$1,000 in consumer priced parts and a @ and brand drop.

The pipe is touching the left radiator. That's a no go. I don't know why it has a ti gas tank. No fuel pump and it's got to be heavier. I know the stock tank would interfere with the cylinder and spark plug but many people have used a heat gun to reshape the tank. Pipe looks awfully top end oriented. That may not be such a bad thing. That silencer tip has to go. I could just see that stuck through someone's thigh after a loop out or blowing through a berm.

Lenscrafters maybe? I don't see pipe touching a radiator anywhere... But is there any videos of it riding? I heard it idle and agreed graphics are ass but the rest of it reminds me of an Mc Hammer song those welds and TI work are to legit to quit after looking at the IG Page. But worth 60k no fn way if Jesse James built it maybe but I never even heard of this Guy

The bike can be made to look incredible but pull that shit off and the pipe!! One East Texas rock and she's toast so put that bad boy in a damn shadow box for lie telling.
