I used to ride bikes, my last being a Z1100... a big accident in my 20's led to me losing the bottle to ride as I used to.

That aside, I am regularly attracted to certain types of machines. I saw this yesterday and just thought 'wow'! What a great looking machine. Not even sure what it is!

How would it handle with such a large front tyre? I actually think the tyres make it look as good as it does.

It will feel very different to a ZZR anyway!

Only you can decide if you like it, so find a dealer near you and arrange a test ride.

It's not art to me, this is, and would be useful on the road.

How do you get a test ride on a custom build ? Clearly that is not a standard bike

It's a Harley Sporster.

No idea what it rides like with a tyre that size but if you like it, get one.

You can check out this thread here to see what the PH BB opinion is on Harleys rolleyes

I’m sure if you went to somewhere like Krazy Horse and were serious they’d arrange it. See the OP’s in london and they have a place there somewhere...

They certainly do.. I was in there yesterday with my MV Agusta. They are based in Welling
