Default Classic project bikes - may be a repost

Just to share with people, I love the bikes featured here, updated almost daily too:

http://www.bikeexif.com/

I don't care if this is a Hitler post, the bikes are awesome and no one should miss out.

I like a lot of the cafe racer and bobber style bikes on that site. some of the cafe racer/bobber crosses are especially nice.

Yes, that M16 is verrrrry nice!

That Ducati "flat-tracker" is exceedingly similar to the HD XR1200, even the paint and exhausts!!

Cheats!!

What you have to remember is that back in the late 70s Cagiva were producing Harley Davidson badged bikes from Harley's old factory in Italy (1978 was the start of Cagivas first foray into bike manufacture) and also using Ducati L-twin engines* in some of their production bikes - so styling a Ducati around a HD flat tracker doesn't seem too unusual to me and it certainly works visually

* Ducati don't officially make V-Twins, they make L-Twins if the factory are to be believed.
