    Very cool one off bikes


    If you like custom bikes and have a thirst for horsepower, industrial designer Bill Webb is your man. Just send him your Honda CBR1000rr for a makeover.


    Most streetfighter motorcycles are an assault on the eyeballs. But Bill Webb of Huge Moto has crafted a very classy Ninja 750.

      I tossed the Duc down the track yesterday. No such thing as too pretty for the track :) Whoops. $330 in parts (not fixing the plastics) and we're good to go for next month. Moving to DOT slicks now though, done with street tires on the track.

          Its quite a blast to ride. I had it dyno'd a few months back after the Bren tune, and she puts down 197hp. to the ground. I wish I lived where there were more hills and open roads. One day though

            Slicks suffer no fools, better money spent working on your skills.

            But I still have the Griso for the street.

                  If I could fit my Repsol through my door (weird angles, aint happening) and I lived back in NY I'd do that same shit, but AZ is year round riding

                        Thankfully its a slab home so I built a little 4" ramp and walk it through the kitchen to the living room. Only really need one 3 point turn. Just have to make sure tires are clean to protect the wood floors.

                        Its easy enough that I could get it back out in a warm snap in 5 minutes. I do ride year round but on the Griso. The MV is only good at going fast, which I don't like doing on cold pavement.

                        Its also a conversation piece for parties. Guys talk about it, girls straddle it, etc.

                          Drive it hard. Maintain it well.

                                I used to own one of those, bought it for 200 bux, guy tried to do some bobber bullshit with sewer piping for some sketchy homemade ape hangers

                                Just sold my R6 flip/side project to my old roommate, bought it for 1k, head on it was all cracked and JB welded, I have no clue how it ran. Originally had planned on making it my track bike, but it had a clean title, and figured I could make some profit on it. Threw a good head on it with some other odds and ends, and sold it to him. Gotta get him some new tires for it, but it's a solid bike, especially since he's coming from a ninja 250, great step up/thrasher bike that he wont have to worry about cosmetics etc.

                                Stoked I've got another friend to ride with now, and that it's going to a good home
