Heres something for all the fans of tube framed Harley-Davidson engined bikes.
Built by Suicide Machine Company in California it has a custom made tube frame, Ducati bits front and rear and a Harley XG 750 engine to power it.

Tank looks a little out of proportion...but other than that, it looks rather nice

Something isn’t quite right proportionately but I’m not sure what it is - rear wheel maybe?

And as always with these bikes, no numberplate hanger which always fucks up the look ;)

I think I like it, maybe :)

All very pretty as a ‘thing’ but of no practical use on the road - no lights or plate hanger.

Designers always do this and when it eventuality hits the road it’s nowhere near as pretty.

Having said that, they’re all very bonny :yup:
