125- 250cc customs

Check out this site if your interested in these type of bikes, there are UK stockists appearing nhttp://www.oldschoolhardknock.com/ow, they look great

The V twin bobber has a definite appeal, but they seem to have spoilt most of their custom bikes with ridiculous ape hangers. However, 18bhp from a modern 250cc V twin seems a bit weak.

Well you dont have to have apes, i quite like them myself, i have them on my chop, some are bit over the top though.

yes i think i have one at home, ill post it when i get in.

Any word on the potential legality of one of these in the UK? I take it a UK distributor would sell these in kit form and the owner would arrange SVA tests, etc? Can't see them approving the lack of cat. or muffler on the exhaust pipes really

im sure they are, there is a whole club dedicated to them in the uk

Having such a tiny motor goes against everything bikes like this are supposed to be, imo

metbandit1 · 4 May 2011 at 10:12

please let there be a UK stockist for these, even being a sports bike rider and saving up for a car, i would postpone it for one of those!

metbandit1 · 4 May 2011 at 19:05

Harvey616 · 4 May 2011 at 20:06

Really don't like that style of bike usually, but those looks amazing

Yup they look very well made, getting very popular over here too, although i like some of the factory customs ,and have even owned a couple, you cant beat a proper custom machine.
