Looks a lot like it was hammered together in someone's back yard, but atleast its a 1000 times better than the katana someone tried to turn into a cruiser a few years ago.
But, Is that a sportster frame its been stuffed into ??? Why would anyone do that to a sportster, and besides cant you buy a sportster for 8500 ??? and isn't a sportster FI and belt drive ???

Cool.

Not quite my style, but it looks decent I guess. For that price, you could buy a much better bike though. 8500 is a ridiculous price for that.

I like it! Wouldn't want to ride a rigid very far, but still.....

Remember folks: those are Ozzy dollars. I don't know the conversion rate, but I do know everything costs more down under.

You are correct, didnt realize that. Comes out to about $6500 USD. Still a bit more than I would want to pay, but not as bad lol.

Not in Oz unless its about 15 years old. New, try double that and then some. Lot of money to be made selling the lifestyle.

Aaaaahh, its meant to give you all the performance of a hardtailed GS with a 80" wheelbase and ~50 lb added @ 1/2 the cost of a sportster.

Never mind, its less non-sensical now.

Cool.

Actually everything costs less for you yankees. Particularly money, you can buy $8500 worth of our money for only $6300 USD ;¬)

Actually I've got my eye on this for  7.5k  I'd prolly get it if I could afford it right now.
