Many thanks to all bikers and motorcycle fans who contributed their videos to our motorcycle channel. If you have a motorcycle at home that you built yourself, or an old, interesting or unusual motorcycle that you would like to show, please send me short videos from your camera or mobile phone to: We Transfer - jawatinomoto@gmail.com
I will process your videos and publish them on our motorcycle RUclips channel - Jawa Tino
Some of these comments kill me. "Rats" are like allowing the inner child within to become unleashed again, but with adult fabrication skills. They are works of art and designed to please no one but the creator, who enjoys the challenge. 90% of the joy comes in the fabrication and working out design flaws as you go along. Those who talk smack on here probably have next to no mechanical/ fabrication skills; They are the ones who buy a $20K bike and can't find the battery or drain plug. Of course these guys don't usually ride long distances on these bikes; That's not the point.
that's right, they are art... not really a true motorcycle. Real cycling is about the ride. Those just say, hey look at me I can follow trends and I don't mind putting others in danger to ride my dangerous POS on the street. I can't stand other riders who have no thought for others they share road with
The summit of bike development. So much better than steam engines.
If these bikes could speak, they'd be saying "Killll meeee"
AndyJames88 This makes me think of the Mondasian Cybermen origin story where the 'patients' keep pressing buttons that say 'pain' and 'kill me' over and over
Best comment ever
Not sure how this ended up on suggestion list. But I can say is that this is the nicest collection of the ugliest bikes ever made.
Its cool looking tho
I'm not interested in showing off with flames coming out the exhaust and putting around at 5 mph. I want to actually ride not just pose.
Agreed. 2 mile an hour fashion show. No thanks.
I’d love to see a drag bike built like this considering the shape of most of these or a more functionally framed bike for cornering through hillside roads 👌🏻
I like the bikes. It’s not something I would build for my self but they are still cool bike lot of skills went into making them. It really shows you are only limited by your imagination as for as design goes
Great bikes, but the crazy handlebars on the second one just ruin it. Looks like it would be hard to ride with those on it.
I thought I had junkers back when I was growing up, now I find out they were ratrods.
wow, that last bike. They would just impound that here, menace to society. They get all over my bikes and they are all bone stock but one as I cant find the bike or a set of stock pipes, so it's got toomies. I have a collection of 70's and 80's 2 stroke street bikes. 22 bikes atm and I ride every one of them at least once a month even if it's just around the circle drive lol. not much more room in my 3 bay garage. I need to make a video and I need to find a riding buddy. My riding partner recently passed away. Any interest in 2 strokes
Cheers all
These are not RAT BIKES, more like
STEAMPUNK STYLE.!
R.I.P. BIG DADDY RAT
If you want ride max 500 meters slow speed and there are no curves, these bikes are OK.

..."The Best of Rat Rod and Steampunk Motorcycles!" Scratching my Head!
That guy with the long handle bars could barely steer it. My brother raked his bike and said handling at slow speeds was terrible...but it looked cool!
at this level, they are no longer motorcycles, they are divinities !
Yes the bike cannot go around a curve the floor boards are damn near touching the ground just sitting on the road with no weight on the bike
I never knew these things existed until now holy shit I love everyone of them
so thats what a Harley looks like when the flash is taken off. May Harley Davidson rest in peace........
Btw, those are Yamaha motorcycles. Not Harley.
Weld the wrenches directly to the hardware!!! Why didn't they think of that on the factory jobs? (That's a rhetoricle question.)
Mindboggling
A movie design for innovation of advancement and Technology. put this one in the archives for future reference
Looked more steampunk. The origins and style of ratrods, cars or bikes, has been lost in an orgy of builders overcharging idiot's with big wallets who have been brainwashed by overenthusiastic media marketing.
You think????
I LOVE RAT RODS WITH THE STEAMPUNK INFLUENCE. SO SIMPLE AND CLEAN.
A couple of these are really cool. A couple of them looked like they almost unrideable. If I'm building a bike I am going to ride the crap out of it. I don't think making a bike ride able takes away from the art.
Is it rideable or ride able?
Make out your mind
I can't un-see these
Where can i get a copy of the plans for these uncomfortably low seats motorcycle 🤔
Imagine a air ride failure at 55mph
3:25 Right Leg positioning must suffice for a chain guard.
Why build a bike that you can't ride? I don't understand.
because they are idiots
OCC 👍
When I as 13 I rode my first motorcycle, I'm 70 and been tiding ever since, 55 bikes 4 continents and the reason I love them is the handing, the feel, the overall engineering that gets me there. These get me no where.
Because they are horrible !
First bike at 1:30 ,,, SNAP behind the floor boards lol , I had a mate that thought he would go ahead and make his own Tow Bar to tow his 17 ft boat and wondered why it snapped on a major highway nearly losing his boat , he was a great welder BUT an engineer he was not , These bikes and even the Rad Rods they build on TV are great ART but also death traps waiting to happen and would NEVER pass an engineering inspection for road use in Australia , Since about 2006 onwards With I Can Make and Do Anything reality TV Shows on every channel EVERYONE is now a Structural / Mechanical Engineer . Its Madness on massive scale o O
They are not great art . They are bad on all levels. What happened to Candy Apple paint jobs?
ra
There all show and no go. but there built that way and the owners know that. I also have been riding all my life and I'm 66. Hell, I cant even remember all of the bikes Ive owned. I remember the first one, it was a 66 Norton atlas. Rode it down old route 66 all the way to Calif. But to each there own man. Different stokes for different folks. Variety is the spice of life..i like it that way. Just an old hippie, Peace
When someone told them they need to get a hobby, they probably didn't mean this.....
something went horribly wrong lol :D
These are not what custom bikes should have evolved to.
@@1-shotslinger108 its gona take them over tho ,im building my second one ,lots being made ...sorry bro be the new in thing
You got to build low down small scoots with narrow wheels that go fast. Read the comments NOBODY LIKES THESE !
@@1-shotslinger108 you don't like the chain for fender brackets? il admit the low ride would suck and looks dumb
Somewhere there's a Chevy 384/409 missing it's valve covers.
NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL A STEAMPUNK MOTORCYCLE BIKE THAT'S NOT A NORMAL MOTORCYCLE BIKE ANYMORE THAT'S A STEAMPUNK MOTORCYCLE BIKE NOW!! THAT'S OP
What a shovel head looks like with the corona viris
Unless it operates on STEAM, and/or springs, it us NOT _steam_punk. Internal combustion is after the age of steam. These would be dieselpunk (which is really cool). (Yes, even if not diesel, its ICE)
awesome wips, I'm starting mine tonight! lol.
Ware's the wall? Hahahaha
so the air bottle on the back is that a pressurized air for the up and down thing
Mad Max the return
Dude I can even smell the gasoline burning 🔥 all the way from here 😆
---- just because you can doesn't mean one should
At 3:20, it is one of the most impressing rat bikes I`ve ever seen, but please, fix the headlight, pretty please.
Honestly, these kinda bikes are kinda cool, but...I'd personally prefer one with a more futuristic, complex look.
These bikes are the best versions of men's art. I wanna find someone in the Cleveland area that can help me build my own or allow me to help build theirs. I have too many ideas for these style bikes. I've built lowrider bicycles all my life and this is the adult version of those for sure. Maybe they're a little less sparkly and shiny but thats exactly the way I like it. Great bikes though, every single one is amazing in its own way
I want to see it go over a speed bump...better go fast.
kinda love the steampunk look as a whole but all these bikes look completely unridable! and all like they was a built by the same bloke!
Loved the adjustable wrench on the front axel nut!
absurd and beautiful...
Not my kind of art, its art for unique individuals
A rat road is something made with others motorcycles parts,here ,no frame ,no seats, nothing from motorcycles but the engine, just a bunch o crap.
very good idea !
They kinda look like they might break down somewhere leaving stuck somewhere???
I've only seen like 2 steampunk motorcycles at shows, now I wish there were more out.
Okok.. amazing. Tak cobak gawe dewe ae ng omah aku
Where do you get parts for these things
I'm sure Leonardo da Vinci is impressed with this 15th century styling.
That it the most original concept I've seen in a long time!!👍
dust eaters for burning man
but, dam they would look good doing it
it handles like rat shit.
Iron American Dream on RUclips Share it. Take a ride across the promised land. Ride a Harley.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I LEARNED SO MUCH.
terrible -they lost everything what motorcycle is.....Freedom...-to ride free and without any technical problems lol...and where can you drive this ones?.... on a laminated floor?
That's some awesome stuff guys!
Can't see why the NEG comments. It ALL cool to me, est the farm engine rig. HAHA but really cool
Half these negative posts are from guys that couldn't fix a samich!
na ja es ist was eigenes aber schön ist was anderes /// well it is something own but nice something else
Different tastes and styles. Not my style but maybe somebody's. More power to them. Rock on.
Why does evey dude with a unique or sketchy bike dress like they're on the beach? Road rash hurts like a mofo along with missing or hamburger toes!! Vans, Crocs...smh.
Are these bikes road legal in the uk ?
The post processing stabilization made this unwatchable. Let it shake. Better than making me sea sick.
Is that a Kawasaki Vulcan in that first bike?? Whatever it is, well done. Love rat bikes.
Everyone has their own Cup of Jack...this one is not for me.
all made by After Hours Bikes. how about you go to a bike show and take footage. yaknow, like variety in different designs. these all looked the same
An attempt to answer the question: How fucked up can it actually get...?
Like a horse step nice engine
If These Are Supposed To Be The Best I Dread Seeing The Worst ..
Truly works of art if you think shit can be art
just think... somebody actually fk'ed your mother and made u.... that is real shit right there
Ratrod use to be cobbling your ride together with whatever parts you could get not gluing goofy crap to your ride just to try to make it look cool or Ratty. In other words you don't do Rat on purpose it just sort of happens over time on its own,in short you can't buy Rat. Just like choppers are not store bought they start with a stock bike and you chop it. No such thing as a factory built new chopper.
True
This is all show crap for clueless morons
All show, no way u gonna cruise on those.
I LOVE IT!!!! TOTALLY AWSOME INNOVATION!!!!
These designs and builds are well done but the term "steampunk" does not mean to sacrifice function over form. This is stupid. Steampunk machines should have the look, without killing the intended performance. These guys lost that. Hell, their turning radius must be about 6 miles, with how low their frames were to the ground. Good builds but damn, that's idiotic and not true to the term.
It cracks me up watching these guys try to pan and dolly around their bikes. Please, in the future, just do static shots, you just embarrass yourself in the effort and take away from the beauty of the bikes. Trust me, you will not be discovered as the next American Chopper.
If anyone would like to have their rat rod bike or car featured on the cover of Inked Magazine please message me at ckolk@mac.com. The shoot takes place in Phoenix Az on Jan 25th 2019.
They are all cobbled together and yet they basically have the same design...using the same stuff. Somebody is copying an original design. So low a rider, so only on perfect roads can it be ridden on...hit a pot-hole and the bike is history. Maybe aught to see what they got in Cuba? There they HAD to do it with stuff that is around and make up the parts.
You guys are all nuts ( and bolts ) but I love it.
I think it's an apocalypse motorbike 😀
Seems like ideal bike for cornering
Just Crazy!!! Great imagination and art to express wnath's in mind... Awsome job👍.
What a fucking fabulous soundtrack... thank you.
while the bikes may have a certain charm, if you could call it that, I wouldn't ride scrap art
What the fuck is the point of a headlight if your tires in the way
Dope how much to build one off these? First bike?
the one with blue rims was a very beautifull bike
These are some dam ugly bikes, and that is putting it mildly.
Grab 4 or 5 garbage cans and put wheels and motor on em and get ugly road trash
Rolling Trash art, this garbage is for copy cats and wannabees. The bikes Belong parked in someones play room,
No bumps in the road ??? .... I will file this with the chocolate teapot
Eat that paul senior from OCC
Jasmijn ariel Eat shit??
Esa sí es una moto de macho cavernícola .
Que cosas más inútiles la verdad..... 🤔🤣😅
WTF won't a bike that's 2 inch above the road I wouldn't get on any one off them death rat traps not even if I got payed
Great video! Awesome bikes!
Lol the bike cannot go around a curve the floor boards are damn near touching the ground just sitting on the road with no weight on the bike
Not a single steampunk bike to see. I steampunk bike has to run on...... steam...
I hate to say it but I don't know why I can't find those toilet paper anywhere if it runs just keep on going break it up and go
4:25 . Now that's a rat.
Caralho meu que motos maravilhosas quero uma ..moto Rat Rod
