O.C.C. Tried to build a sportbike.

This thing has an S&S V-Twin, Turbo Charger, Ohlins, BST Carbon wheels, Brembo brakes, and tons of other off the shelf parts. Plus some R1 Track Fairings. LOL

I had to find some clips from the episode where they built this thing. It is hilarious to see them try to figure out how to use real motorcycle parts like Ohlins.

These guys need to stay away from real bikes.

They also built this Abomonation of a Ducati Monster:

They are all about modification.

I think both bikes look great - for what they are. The Venom paint job on the Monster is fantastic.
 
Not quite as hideous as the GSX-R chopper but close. Btw that discovery channel link showed me the same commercial every minute and a half. I only got through the first 5 or 6 min

What a waste of cash.Apex did a Monster 1100 Evo with a ton of accessories,powdercoat and a really different paint job.The logos have an underlay plasma sheet that illuminates them in different colours and flash rates.A bit gaudy for my tastes,but very well done.

I'm sure there are better ways to show how much of a colossal female hygiene product you are than spending $15,000 on that.
 
Sorry OP, both those bikes look great.
..in the eye of the beholder I guess.
 
Proof that you can throw a whole bunch of good parts together and still be all wrong.

They put Ohlins suspension on it, but didn't actually put any thought into chassis design. The way they mounted the rear shock is just sketchy.

The real problem with the bike is the engine. Because they don't know how to use a real engine they had to put that stupid V-Twin with separate transmission. Now they have to make the frame longer to handle it and run the massive primary drive, oil tank, etc. If they had taken a proper motor like an Inline 4 or even a V-twin from a TL or RC it would have worked so much better.

They may know how to shape and form metal, but they don't know anything about building motorcycles.

That bloody thing must have the turning radius of a supetanker. They obviously don't grasp the sportbike concept.
 
What an abomination. Those guys are just hacks. I wouldn't ride a single bike they make, not because of the look but because id always be waiting for the thing to fall apart of crumble.
 
I saw a few of their bikes up close when I went to their shop after the show first came on the air. This was before they jumped the shark, turned it into a soap opera & moved into their new place. The bikes all looked cobbled-together, with some sloppy welds and garish design elements. Form over function. I wasn't impressed.
 
That looks badass and I would right the piss out of it.
