I LOVE RAT RODS WITH THE STEAMPUNK INFLUENCE. SO SIMPLE AND CLEAN.

[@rayb7414]

When I as 13 I rode my first motorcycle, I'm 70 and been tiding ever since, 55 bikes 4 continents and the reason I love them is the handing, the feel, the overall engineering that gets me there. These get me no where.

[@1-shotslinger108]

Because they are horrible !

[@MrMambott]

First bike at 1:30 ,,, SNAP behind the floor boards lol , I had a mate that thought he would go ahead and make his own Tow Bar to tow his 17 ft boat and wondered why it snapped on a major highway nearly losing his boat , he was a great welder BUT an engineer he was not , These bikes and even the Rad Rods they build on TV are great ART but also death traps waiting to happen and would NEVER pass an engineering inspection for road use in Australia , Since about 2006 onwards With I Can Make and Do Anything reality TV Shows on every channel EVERYONE is now a Structural / Mechanical Engineer . Its Madness on massive scale o O

[@1-shotslinger108]

They are not great art . They are bad on all levels. What happened to Candy Apple paint jobs?

[@fofaopr1706]

[@freeyourmindtc]

There all show and no go. but there built that way and the owners know that. I also have been riding all my life and I'm 66. Hell, I cant even remember all of the bikes Ive owned. I remember the first one, it was a 66 Norton atlas. Rode it down old route 66 all the way to Calif. But to each there own man. Different stokes for different folks. Variety is the spice of life..i like it that way. Just an old hippie, Peace

[@justdoingitjim7095]

That guy with the long handle bars could barely steer it. My brother raked his bike and said handling at slow speeds was terrible...but it looked cool!

[@peterolsen2088]

so thats what a Harley looks like when the flash is taken off. May Harley Davidson rest in peace........

[@ericdenton3457]

Btw, those are Yamaha motorcycles. Not Harley.

[@AndyJames88]

If these bikes could speak, they'd be saying "Killll meeee"

[@Korsfestelse]

AndyJames88 This makes me think of the Mondasian Cybermen origin story where the 'patients' keep pressing buttons that say 'pain' and 'kill me' over and over

[@TheThaiLife]

Best comment ever

[@88Blazehaze]

Dude I can even smell the gasoline burning 🔥 all the way from here 😆

[@rjgamad4204]

NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL A STEAMPUNK MOTORCYCLE BIKE THAT'S NOT A NORMAL MOTORCYCLE BIKE ANYMORE THAT'S A STEAMPUNK MOTORCYCLE BIKE NOW!! THAT'S OP

[@addictedtoair1351]

Seems like ideal bike for cornering

[@lauwaetquentin3864]

at this level, they are no longer motorcycles, they are divinities !

[@rsar61]

Yes the bike cannot go around a curve the floor boards are damn near touching the ground just sitting on the road with no weight on the bike

[@adamabele785]

The summit of bike development. So much better than steam engines.

[@johnbehneman1546]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I LEARNED SO MUCH.

[@johnbehneman1546]

I LOVE IT!!!! TOTALLY AWSOME INNOVATION!!!!

[@billymoore8731]

Truly works of art if you think shit can be art

[@Chopper650]

just think... somebody actually fk'ed your mother and made u.... that is real shit right there

[@Phaedrus-th7bi]

Some of these comments kill me. "Rats" are like allowing the inner child within to become unleashed again, but with adult fabrication skills. They are works of art and designed to please no one but the creator, who enjoys the challenge. 90% of the joy comes in the fabrication and working out design flaws as you go along. Those who talk smack on here probably have next to no mechanical/ fabrication skills; They are the ones who buy a $20K bike and can't find the battery or drain plug. Of course these guys don't usually ride long distances on these bikes; That's not the point.

[@waynerainey2606]

that's right, they are art... not really a true motorcycle. Real cycling is about the ride. Those just say, hey look at me I can follow trends and I don't mind putting others in danger to ride my dangerous POS on the street. I can't stand other riders who have no thought for others they share road with

[@saxon1177]

I'm sure Leonardo da Vinci is impressed with this 15th century styling.

[@user-ut1gh2mi8y]

..."The Best of Rat Rod and Steampunk Motorcycles!" Scratching my Head!

[@Room-qd7pl]

Loved the adjustable wrench on the front axel nut!

[@ramellin]

I never knew these things existed until now holy shit I love everyone of them

[@millersethe]

I'm not interested in showing off with flames coming out the exhaust and putting around at 5 mph. I want to actually ride not just pose.

[@palehorse1511]

Agreed. 2 mile an hour fashion show. No thanks.

[@kayleb1109]

I’d love to see a drag bike built like this considering the shape of most of these or a more functionally framed bike for cornering through hillside roads 👌🏻

[@OffTheJacks]

I've only seen like 2 steampunk motorcycles at shows, now I wish there were more out.

[@_Blank___Space_]

Honestly, these kinda bikes are kinda cool, but...I'd personally prefer one with a more futuristic, complex look.

[@andymcneil7660]

What a fucking fabulous soundtrack... thank you.

[@dieterbillinger3956]

You guys are all nuts ( and bolts ) but I love it.

[@tj71520]

the one with blue rims was a very beautifull bike

[@terryclotf]

so the air bottle on the back is that a pressurized air for the up and down thing

[@camgere]

Makes me smile! He's using parts in ways Mother Nature just never intended.

[@likaboss6100]

Not my kind of art, its art for unique individuals

[@robertbragg9364]

These bikes are the best versions of men's art. I wanna find someone in the Cleveland area that can help me build my own or allow me to help build theirs. I have too many ideas for these style bikes. I've built lowrider bicycles all my life and this is the adult version of those for sure. Maybe they're a little less sparkly and shiny but thats exactly the way I like it. Great bikes though, every single one is amazing in its own way

[@TrinidadJamesWoods]

Great bikes, but the crazy handlebars on the second one just ruin it. Looks like it would be hard to ride with those on it.

[@jeffbryan3224]

Weld the wrenches directly to the hardware!!! Why didn't they think of that on the factory jobs? (That's a rhetoricle question.)

[@datjuggalo7278]

That it the most original concept I've seen in a long time!!👍

[@julianbingham3999]

I can't un-see these

[@pacerodi]

I like the slo-mo diesel at 6:24. Un-fucking-believable!

[@skibik64]

Not sure how this ended up on suggestion list. But I can say is that this is the nicest collection of the ugliest bikes ever made.

[@BearBoyBebenth]

Its cool looking tho

[@deckerhand12]

I like the bikes. It’s not something I would build for my self but they are still cool bike lot of skills went into making them. It really shows you are only limited by your imagination as for as design goes

[@JamesCouch777]

I thought I had junkers back when I was growing up, now I find out they were ratrods.

[@jaybuilder8298]

Where do you get parts for these things

[@usquanigo]

Unless it operates on STEAM, and/or springs, it us NOT _steam_punk. Internal combustion is after the age of steam. These would be dieselpunk (which is really cool). (Yes, even if not diesel, its ICE)

[@acrobaticcripple8176]

Seriously fantastic! Only in America. Love to see one on the road here in the UK.

[@breadstroker6035]

manу such motorcycles available in Russia

[@zachvince4834]

This isn't a biased selection at all.

[@neilsjeansmontoya7796]

it is an art without sense. don't know how people make a motorcycle like this.

[@ericdenton3457]

Different tastes and styles. Not my style but maybe somebody's. More power to them. Rock on.

[@bilgeratjim]

4:25 . Now that's a rat.

[@waynerainey2606]

wow, that last bike. They would just impound that here, menace to society. They get all over my bikes and they are all bone stock but one as I cant find the bike or a set of stock pipes, so it's got toomies. I have a collection of 70's and 80's 2 stroke street bikes. 22 bikes atm and I ride every one of them at least once a month even if it's just around the circle drive lol. not much more room in my 3 bay garage. I need to make a video and I need to find a riding buddy. My riding partner recently passed away. Any interest in 2 strokes Cheers all

[@antoniodavila6455]

Just Crazy!!! Great imagination and art to express wnath's in mind... Awsome job👍.

[@johnzohovetz3393]

These are cool looking Bikes.

[@skeggiskjeldarson9513]

Just lovely!!!

[@shekharkulkarni1426]

Mindboggling

[@mcjitsu]

Is that a Kawasaki Vulcan in that first bike?? Whatever it is, well done. Love rat bikes.

[@godisgood5089]

Why build a bike that you can't ride? I don't understand.

[@badspy100]

because they are idiots

[@thra5herxb12s]

OCC 👍

[@rickrandom6734]

If you want ride max 500 meters slow speed and there are no curves, these bikes are OK.

[@dannystutsman7636]

Basics gotta love it

[@millersethe]

A couple of these are really cool. A couple of them looked like they almost unrideable. If I'm building a bike I am going to ride the crap out of it. I don't think making a bike ride able takes away from the art.

[@dr.jillalicecooper2587]

Is it rideable or ride able? Make out your mind

Is this art or is this insanity?

[@repo3792]

Ratrod use to be cobbling your ride together with whatever parts you could get not gluing goofy crap to your ride just to try to make it look cool or Ratty. In other words you don't do Rat on purpose it just sort of happens over time on its own,in short you can't buy Rat. Just like choppers are not store bought they start with a stock bike and you chop it. No such thing as a factory built new chopper.
