I'm not a fan of a lot of show bikes. Because they are just that, Show Bikes! They are not built to be ridden as much, more to showcase his skills.

I'm willing to bet most anyone on this board would take that scoot.

This one, not so much...

Should he stay stale, and not try something new?

Again, I'm not a huge fan of his, but at least he's not using the same fenders he used 50 years ago, like some company does.

I would ride the wheels off that top one, and I would send that bottom one back to Mars

Sure I'd take it - I'll bet it has a ton of trade-in or resale value. Would I ride it? Nope. I'd probably sell it and use the money to buy an Indian Chief or a Heritage.

I absolutely hate the "modern chopper" look (i.e., OC Choppers, Big Dog - pretty much every well known chopper builder). This is just the bagger version of the modern chopper look. They all remind me of something a high school heavy metal gearhead draws in his notebooks in class.
