im sure ive heard some of the American boys talking about their custom bikes being over $200K before so i bet the owner wants a fair bit for it.

About £30 a ton at the scrappies

How does it go around corners, the frame looks like it would touch on the slightest incline.

Does it matter as long as it can be pushed onto a trailer?

Its has air suspension at the back which lifts up but really is just an ornament for someone with a small one

£50,000 final bid... these things are as useless as wipers in a submarine, but as collectors item... thats a different story...

edit: it has a belt drive??? then 60k is my guess..

They arent practical, and rubbish round corners but I have seen people ride more crazy ones than that a couple of hundred miles to shows!

At the end of the day they are works of art and not designed to be used. Fine if you have the money. I wouldnt have one that extreme, but each to their own.

You have to admire the skill in making something like that. Far more than welding some box together and bolting some panels to it (not that building your own car is easy either of course!)

you wouldn't want your trouser leg (or leg hair) to catch in that belt drive though would you

it's ok your leg actually is way forward from the belt, more over the hot exhaust pipes really

But the string from your shorts might get caught... OR WORSE....

Mind you, i can think of worse ways to go...

I still can't get my head round how much these things cost. Take a gander here > £ 20 K and you have to put it together yourself!!?!?!

Makes you realise what a bargain our kit cars are, hell, for that amount you could get a pretty nice cobra.

I see there is a bidding frenzy on this one!!
