savagethumper Ex Member	Sharpest Bike 03/29/05 at 14:13:28 Alright, I have the ugly bike thing going on in another post; now I want to know what all you guys think is the best looking [glow=red,2,300]production [/glow] bike. Not modified, right off the showroom floor. My first choice would have to be the Victory Vegas. I know it's a little overpriced, but it looks so clean.

I would have to say the Vegas would be on my short list, in fact of any V-2 I like the Bombardier I had the hots for a FJR, but my back says nope.

Not really sure what you mean by confederate. Although it started as a custom, they mass produce these things now. You can order this exact bike right from the factory depending upon the level of completion you require. You can buy all the parts plus the cost of the additional fabrication needed to make this a completely bolt-together project for $23,152. The complete motorcycle, as pictured and ready to ride, is $32,452. Call it what you will but is sure is a sweet lookin' chopper Wink

Cheers!

Waits a minute ??? those ain't "off the showroom floor", "production", they are at least special/custom order, aren't they?
I mean more like pony-up 10 grand and wait til they get around to putting it together, w/ BIG Shocked

balance due ala OCC?
A guy could do alot w/ the extra 15 grand and a real box stock "assembly line" bike. Grin

..at least a Savagster could!

That's the critter, believe that Confederate has been making the Wildcat for around five years as a low production bike. The rear suspension has a hidden monoshock while the frame is the oil tank. Asked about one last year at the local OCC type chopper store and was told that thier clientle have a differrent riding style. Just was curious to see one up close, I'm attracted to strange and unusual things Grin

RG Ex Member	Re: Best looking bike Reply #9 - 03/29/05 at 16:43:00 Okay, so don't everybody hate me, but you've gotta admit that the V-Rod is a good lookin' bike. Expensive, yes. Personally, I'd never spend an extra, hmm, 10-15 grand just to have a sticker on my bike that says Harley, but that's just me. Anyway, just thought I'd throw the the V-Rod out there.

Nightrain Ex Member	Re: Best looking bike Reply #10 - 03/29/05 at 16:56:47 I have to agree . Although I would never dish out that much cash for a bone stock harley, It is a gnarley bike. There is a fella in my office building that has one with some aftermarket pipes. That thing sounds nastier than a hemi cuda' with glasspacks.

This is as close to perfect as it gets for me. Don't mind the double pipes and two carbs, it's still a thumper.
