What was this bike?

Morba · 15 Jun 2009 at 20:31

Saw a bike yesterday, looked rather new.

Not much to go on...

not a sports bike
black with some chrome
twin pipes on the right side, one above the other
WIDE rear wheel, im talking really wide

Not much else to go on really, but it was cool as **** tbh.

any ideas?

Was it a streetfighter, chopper or cruiser style? Anything else to go on as a lot of bikes could fall into that description?

Morba · 15 Jun 2009 at 20:35

can you give me an example of each?

InvaderGIR · 15 Jun 2009 at 20:35

I put 'cool as **** bike' into google (without the stars, and safe search off), I had...urmm...interesting results...but nothing that sounds like what you are talking about.

that sort of thing, but no.
exhausts were chrome and longer.
rear wheel was much wider!

that thing looks great though

Yuck.

I'm going for street fighter.

Saw an awesome one yesterday as well, assuming it was a street fighter. Looked rather new, big fuel tank and huge rear tyre and straight handlebars.

If it was the same one I saw then you're looking at huge rear tyres much wider than those. if it was a production bike. there can't be many with almsot dead straight bars.

? Could have been so many bikes

as Acid said, this bike had a huge rear tyre, must be double the width of the ones you lot are offering.

quite possibly the same bike as what i saw as bradley stoke is only a few miles away.

stoke1863 · 15 Jun 2009 at 20:50

Its deffo some sort of custom then

Glaucus · 15 Jun 2009 at 20:53

For some reason it reminded me of one of those aggressive looking ducati.
large angular fuel tank. straight bars with no riser and fat rear tyre.

God it was sex on wheels. But the rider was a **** sat out side the pub just reviving it like a cav.

suzuki intruder, thats a big possibility

got more suggestions like that?

Snaggle · 15 Jun 2009 at 20:54

lot less clutter and a much more sports bike with hardly any fairings.
