My opinion the wrong bike was picked for a custom build and even though I believe care and quality was put into the work and that level of money was spent I do not see anything special to warrant the money he is asking. He my find that person who wants what he is selling but not me. Futuristic devastated world look but not mean, not pretty, and not 10 grand.
I did like the pipes if they were chromed. Seat really sucked.To fix the problem one should not make more assumptions than the minimum needed.

Well,
I know a couple of guys who would probably really like this custom Wing ... but then again, they are obsessed with anything/everything concerning old Gold Wings.
But, I was curious what the collective here thought about the bike.
As for me ... NO, THANK YOU! I wouldn't even consider buying this at ΒΌ his price!
I think we all can agree that the price is unrealistic, but the styling/look ... well, that is totally subjective.
To me, it looks something like ... industrial meets "futuristic devastated world", as Ron put it.
Like something the humans in a Terminator movie might have cobbled together from abandoned parts.
The exhaust system does look interesting, though ... if only those pipes doubled as rocket launchers!Marco

Looks sorta cool, and very impractical. I can think of a LOT of better ways to blow $10K.I think I have a loose screw behind the handlebars.
