Lansplit blvd.

The 999 is the Porsche 996 of the bike world, people absolutely hated it, yet 20 years on, it looks way better than the overstyled caricatures we see on the road today.

It’s aged really well, looks amazing

the vfr1200 is an amazing good bike, super balanced sharp steering super braking and both sporty as comfortable` Honda his best motorbike introduced 2010

I had a 500 Honda chopper

Senior's Bikes were usually more practical than Junior's wild unergonomic creations. He was biker for long time, so he knew better. I dont want to dwell into it since its sad story, but i dont agree Paul Sr. was one at fault. Reasons for his outbursts were usually reasonable, like Junior keep showing late. He only very rarely had reason to yell on one of other guys working there for the same reasons(even if they didnt show us everything). His hot head did allot damage sadly, but that how he is. If he was unfair to someone, he usually apologized. Ofc, its much harder if its your own same brick headed son. There were times when he was too much in Jr. face too. Its two sided coin. But sad story. I hope they will talk again some day.

I had a Kawasaki tecate 250 you always brought a clean pair of shorts when riding. That tricart thing is insane I didn't see any controls and putting you feet around the front tire can just imagine my foot getting ripped into it

Honda super CUB is the Royal Endfield of modern days. This shows that simple is always better.

American Chopper not American Choppers!🤦‍♂

Im originally from Michigan, i lived 10 miles from Bloomfield Hills. My neighbor raced these things semi professionally for his family Honda business. I had no idea the concept started there.

I have a little 2003 Suzuki GS250 Cruiser that I bobbed and stripped down to the bare bones. It's not fast but easy and fun to ride.

Its so funny to hear rhat but towards the end about "anyone who says all the bikes were vrap probably didn't actually watch the show," then the top comment is some brit saying all the bikes were shit

I saw an incomplete Brough Superior once. And only once. Even in its incomplete state, missing the engine and front forks, it completely dominated the room. The vintage Harleys and Indians in the room paled in comparison in every way. Despite being close to a century old that old Brough Superior gleamed like a diamond and it looked like it was going fast, even though it was holding perfectly still. I really can't tell you if it was an SS80 or SS100, as I was just a kid at the time. But I remember my grandpa absolutely *geeking out* about it.

have you ever heard of Pimp My Ride? enjoy

Japanese engine long lasting and reliable

7:47 YOU DON'T SAY!!! A custom one of a kind bike that was commissioned as a marketing tool felt like... A marketing tool?! No way?!?! People that criticize the custom bikes completely miss the point of the custom builds on the show: they aren't meant to be functional, they are meant to be flashy, over the top and ridiculous. THAT'S THE POINT OF MARKETING. You could have a normal bike with a logo on it, but no one would care about that. All the bikes they built for marketing purposes are marketing tools.

the snapon bike is sick

The linked brakes are still used in automatic scooters. It replaces abs to make it cost less. It's called combination (combi) brake system (CBS). Its engages both the front and rear brakes simultaneously with the rear brake having 70% power and the front is 30%.

Paul Sr. was Vince McMahon of motorcycle shows. :)) Overall I enjoyed this show at that time, I had a thought that those bikes are impractical, but they looked cool af!

What's special about 20k rpm? Does it feel different from lower revving bike.

nah its not ez to steal someone works remember suzuki spend a lot of money for ernst and his family..... if u wanted to blame blame the nazis for losing the world war

The Virago was a thing to be amaze when I was a kid, not until I saw the Ducati monster. Oh gosh thats a different looking beast.

16:23 Maybe they're hiding but also a lot of manufacturers (like Suzuki/Honda) don't make choppers anymore because in the EU all motorcycles are required to have an anti-lock braking system [ABS] which is kinda problematic with choppers and the riders who prefer (like myself) to have full control and knowledge on how the bike reacts when the wheels lock.

Choppers were a fad that has faided. Most of the bikes they built weren't everyday usable bikes rather static art instalations. The bike consisted mostly of off the shelf parts from outside venders with some custome in house work. Another problem was they built what they wanted rather than what the customer wanted. A good example was the cafe racer they built for Billy Joel, they just didn't get it and did their own thing with predictable results. The best bike they bult was the Mercedes AMG bike, mostly because OCC had a very strict design brief they had to stick to. The result a good looking bike that reflected the client well.

The real thing that held the vrod back so much is the lack of aftermarket support. Harleys arent meant to be kept stock, they are meant to be bought and built to the liking of the owner, it was doomed to fail because no one bothered to make parts for it afterwards.

I never realized it didn't have telescoping suspension. That is so freaking cool!!!

In 50 years, when Kawasaki creates their first hydrogen-powered sports bike, it needs to be called H2-O

Today's generation is woke. We need to restore traditions of motorcycle riding. There will always be something for everyone. BSA needs to introduce parallel twins or v twins. Little by little evolve.

To me, all of them were terrible.

Jay Leno gave a super honest review of the bike he got.

I love mybulletproof 2004 VTX1800S, it eats Harleys.

I have to comment on remark that the vmax was the first "super cruiser". Definitely was the the v65 magna hands down no questions asked. The v65 is the grandaddy OG of the fast cruiser category. Those bikes will do 110 in 2nd gear and have a 5 speed plus over drive 6 gear transmission. Also with the right rider the v65 is putting down a 3 second 0 to 60 as well. Yes without a doubt the vmax was faster and all around much better. I'm just pointing out it definitely wasn't the first super cruiser.

They never entered moto GP . And they got their only success by buying out an entire pre existing race team

I reckon that the new Multistrada is uglier than the old one.

Boring ass video

Still own my 86 1400 intruder, still going strong, but i still own my 85 gsxr 1100

This COULD have been a great show. it COULD have had a father and sons working together to build a business and stronger family relationships. But NO, we got a crazy old man who was/is a drug addict, alcoholic, Steroid abusing, narcissist who couldn't stand ANYONE to get credit except himself. You could see Paul Jr. trying his best to please his father and always reaching out for his approval. The dad couldn't stand it, and kept pushing him away. Mikey was even more tragic, he turned to clownish antics just to get his fathers approval, and to stop the fighting....but in the end Mikey turned to alcohol as his savior. There was a third son who refused to be on the show, he was lucky enough to get away; and stay away, from the evil father. If you doubt what I am saying, go back and watch ANY of the shows endings when they do the "reveal" who is always at the front taking credit, flexing like an ape....Paul Sr. BTW the bikes are TOTAL GARBAGE, they buy a frame, an engine, and then bolt on a bunch of crap to come up with a "theme" that they charge some sucker $100,000 or more. My brothers and I were lucky enough to have a father who was the opposite.... he was a quiet war hero, who served his country and his community, his church, and local civic organizations, he didn't smoke, swear, do drugs, and only had an occasional drink....But he helped his four boys pull the engines out of our GTOs, Cutlasses, MGs, and Jaguars, rebuild them and blow the doors off the other kids cars. Over the years we collected over 75 Motorcycles, most were vintage Harley's, (36 EL 37 EL Police Special) some were on display at "Wheels through Time" in Maggie Valley NC, and the American Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa Iowa, and Heritage Harley in Lisle IL. In the very early 1970s I helped my older brother actually BUILD a few choppers out of spare parts we gathered up around Chicagoland. So of course when this show came out, we were all glued to our TV sets and couldn't wait to see what they would do next, but what COULD have been was overshadowed by the very real evilness of the old man.

over priced uncomfortable TRASH you can find many on craigslist cheap

Janus and Goshen Indiana in general are well worth a visit! It's a cool little town straight out of a hallmark movie with some cool guys making bikes out of an old storefront

Im not defending the people of the show.... But come on y'all, if it was just a show in the early 2000's about just building motorcycles then there would of been 50 of them and no real variants. Making "Art" bikes, which was confirmed actully ordered by real costomers once there name was out there, then good for them and the channel producers for marketing it this way!

Stop. Skinny. Tires. Now.

Helmet. Bigger than. Bike. Tires. Too. Skinny. No. Proportion. And. Overprice

You can only build unrideable, piece of shit, vastly overpriced, “choppers” for so long.

What I always found funny is when they go out to test ride these bikes and they make that angry face while riding 😆😆 such a macho man, so strong and badass 😆😆 hahaha it's so ridiculous.

I disagree about the Lincoln bike. I personally thought it was 🔥🔥🔥 but, everyone has there own opinion. I recently started watching all the seasons again about a month ago so this video came up at the perfect time. I don't even know what led me to do it lol

I had a Camino and then a Wallaroo… when me son is 16 and has a driving license, I will buy him a Honda . My brother has a Honda CBR 850Cc…. Enuff said …

They need therapy thats what

When was Paul Senior ever about efficiency? He loved to stomp around yelling and screaming and demanding that things get done, but none of it was done efficiently.

everyone who knows custom bikes says Orange County Choppers are shit

I'm old enough to remember the original GPZ1000RX from 1986 . At the time it was marketed as the fastest bike in the world , and "the fastest bike Kawasaki would ever make ". That didn't age well. Apart from making the world's most powerful production bike , they have also managed to produce the most horrendously ugly machine the world has ever seen .
