+SimpleVillain Thank you!! I opened the link in RUclips just to make that same comment. These idiot cameramen who think that extreme depth of focus is so cool!! Fucking wankers!!!
whoever is filming this please learn how to focus your camera. i know it looks good focusing and unfocusing a shot but its got to be done selectively, not every 2 seconds. I have a headache now, thanks
OK, very clever build, with probably no expense spared, but now we've seen it run, put it in a glass case and put it away - its all art, and no use for what riding is meant to be about - visceral fun. I'm afraid its another case of form over function. Lazy tractor engine, in a frame that wont handle, with frankly silly wheel diameters that are hard to make go around corners! I really think a 20 year old 250 would be more fun to ride.
Col. Sir Buffy Horsetrouser You're missing the point, this is Art over function. It was never meant to be the next CBR, KTM 450 EXC etc.... The world is a better place for having something like this in it. Can you imagine living in a place where everything was just was made up of purely passionless, functional things? What a boring and soul killing place that would be.
@@LuckyPause3d Everybody trying to out think themselves here. Trying to debate the importance of it actually being a functional bike. If that's what makes this a fail then there is an awful lot of really uncomfortable, impractical stuff that has already slipped thru and awed the people that are all caught up in custom bikes. It obviously is rolling art if you choose to see it as that. It doesn't have a whole lot of redeeming qualities as a functional and practical bike. I wouldn't want to count on that back tire at speed in a corner or a straight line for that matter. Maybe it's an ode to the old board track racers. I wonder about the capabilities of those tires but then i think of the tires on a Bugatti and their suitability to go 200mph. In reality it's an advertising campaign and it's not the only one. I just scrolled past another video of another possibly even weirder bike for Akropovic. It's really pretty much the same thing as what was built on American Choppers for a number of successful seasons. Corporate symbols showing the "hipness" of the company that commissioned it. I'd be shocked to see that this thing has been licenced and street ridden more than just a few blasts across a parking lot, across a stage or tooling the streets in an industrial park. It's destiny is likely to be on display in the lobby of Akrapovic's Corporate Headquarters.
A complete work of art that works. I think it is stunning. If you want a cheap, practical form of transport, take the bus. This bike was designed and built for one reason, defy convention in the pursuit of a pure artform that shuns logic. Yes there are people that hate it, However, most folks who ride or have ridden motorcycles would want to own one just because of the work that has gone into it and how it looks. A £10 Casio will, almost always, show you the time more accurately than a £20,000 Rolex. There is a market for both....
i ride an r1 but MAN THE SOUND OF THIS BIKE IS JUST>>>>>INCREDIBLE>>>>>>fuc i love the sound of this of exhaust, i could FEEL what it would be like riding this machine just sitting here watching the vid!!
The whole shifting focus in this vid is just annoying. If used right its a very effective way to draw attention to details the view might otherwise overlook, but in this vid its over used, and improperly used.
lost interest the minute I seen some prat put solid wheels on it no consideration for crosswinds and those tiny headlights what the F are they supposed to light up ? sadly no matter how "cool" it looks its just a waste of a good engine
nicky howard You do realise the purpose of a motorcycle right? its meant to be ridden as in moving ! you can get away with solid wheels on a car because of the inherent stability of having 4 wheels. On 2 inline wheels as per most motorcycles stability is everything and the worst thing you can do is use solid wheels because as soon as you get a strong crosswind your very nice artsy fartsy bike is going to be on its side in a ditch.
I can more than appreciate Akrapovic for their hard work, but it's just not my style with design and engine choice. Much respect for them doing this, I sure as hell couldn't do something like this.
looks like it can go, thank goodness you will run out of gas before you get very far no brake ugly useless wheels 1800 cc and a pint of gas too much time on some builders hand should have spent less time building more time learning how to work the camera
This bike is cool and all but it wasn't what I was expecting. I thought from the thumbnail that the back of the bike had a spherical ball instead of a wheel. Now that would be spectacular.
You'right, i thought it looked like a MB rear shock too, so i had a look at the bikes page on the Akra page and found this: "Rear Fox Air", so yes its a fox air shock.
Yes, a camera has depth of field, we get it. Being in focus is also really really handy...
Most of all what it is is a testament to the effort you must go to now days to stand out from the crowd in the world of high end custom bikes.
Your camera man needs to learn how to focus.
+Hugh Jainus light
From one builder to another. This is absolutely beautiful. Extremely tasteful and not overdone at all. This is a build done right.
focus, unfocus, focus, unfocus. jesus christ hire a new camera man
so fucking irritating
They're different focus points...
SimpleVillain You cling to
+SimpleVillain Thank you!! I opened the link in RUclips just to make that same comment. These idiot cameramen who think that extreme depth of focus is so cool!! Fucking wankers!!!
+SimpleVillain cameraman is a hipster and just found out about filters
That is art! Thank you for that!
whoever is filming this please learn how to focus your camera. i know it looks good focusing and unfocusing a shot but its got to be done selectively, not every 2 seconds. I have a headache now, thanks
This bike is very crazy, I liked the design her, very inspired in the future!
I don't have words for expliquer! Unbelievable!
Thanks

stunning bike. ppl saying negative things really need 2 look at it in a different way. this isn't a bike...this is art

designer's story of his art... and the soul of art is hard to explain...
sounds like a lawn mower I used to own...
V-twin with a straight pipe does sound like a lawn mower on idle but in a smaller scale
Amazing design. Love to see something really new in style from time to time
The play with the focus is so annoying. Just show us the damn bike!!
piękny motocykl, szacunek dla twórcy.Brawo
Music in video? please ! Thanks :)
Aah yeess. the sound of motorcycles in the 1920s. I think that is a gorgeous motorcycle. very provocative and artistic design.
what is the song ?????
+Phu Thịnh Nguyen It's annoying.
+Phu Thịnh Nguyen even shazam doenst know it :I
I didn't even expect "Art"
To handle and not be that bad! I love it... Just to look at it.
Batman called, he wants his bike back.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. You sir, have no eyes.
Trevor Franklin?
What's his middle name, Michael?
Great comment :D
Adamond Ave Thanks, I try.
Love seeing new bikes and ideas. Eat your heart out Harley.
+Seth D

$150000 dollars for their bike, trust me, this is a beast.
Can someone enlighten me why would someone buy/ride this bike....?
I was just wondering why i'm watching this video
cause it's a piece of art? custom? nobody has it? it fuckin'n gorgeus?
now, go and buy yourself Yamaha.
cheers
samborac46 I think what you tried to say was Honda
samborac46 Lol it's engineering and it needs to work, art second. Function and form.
This is a show bike...like a collector bike...you will never see this bike on the streets
i ride an r1 but MAN THE SOUND OF THIS BIKE IS JUST>>>>>INCREDIBLE>>>>>>fuc i love the sound of this of exhaust, i could FEEL what it would be like riding this machine just sitting here watching the vid!!
What kind of toaster was this filmed with? Focus!
The excitement of 15 to 20 mph.
Stop focussing around and use a tripod once in a while
Shh
Most underrated comment ever!! Let me dislike.
Not my type of bike but it sounds awesome, and gotta give em props for thinking outside the box, looks very high quality!
Что за музыка играет?
Natali Kushmina 6 лет назад оыигеть
I'm in love!! Not only does it look awesome, it has the sound to go with it!! A cruiser for the 21st century.
music?
Art And Design! Glorius, Well Done!
What's the songs name?
Love the look of that bike! I would never want to own it to ride around in but i love the look of it!
looks like a "Decepticon" from Transformer lol
3 years later .. still no one knows the name of the soundtrack ! :D
Lets hope there's not much crosswind while riding it
+Josh Lewis Exactly what I was thinking. Might as well attach a sail to it.
+Josh Lewis And u have your balls still on after long ride on this small seat.
Not to mention wouldnt want to crank 112 cubes with a 10 speed tire !! Pretty sure thatd be kinda squirly
The bike is a work of art.
The whole shifting focus in this vid is just annoying. If used right its a very effective way to draw attention to details the view might otherwise overlook, but in this vid its over used, and improperly used.
It's a nice looking bike though.
That's a beautiful bike!
But what if you want to go more than 15mph, on ordinary roads?
a-SkepticalMan Aw man, you killed me! Ahaha!
Is the engine from Tomos?
it sounds great, looks even greater .. All my respect ! But... what about the side wind? ..
That might have been a good video if it was in focus. Did you film it with a toaster?
The filming hurts my eyes
Finally MCN got a good camera!
When I look at this bike from a biker point of view one word comet to mind: Why?
Csaba Torok When?
Who?
I think it looks a bit....crap
John Doe I feel this way about electric bikes
That sound thou.... THAT SOUND!
Its interesting. It would benefit from exhaust tuning.
Gabriel Choi
Such great meaning from so few words +1
Turbo Lover
And a new bike.
+Turbo Lover lmfao
one of the best bike sounds ever.....
Lots of talk and landscape and very little bike.
Love the way it look...nice work..
lost interest the minute I seen some prat put solid wheels on it no consideration for crosswinds and those tiny headlights what the F are they supposed to light up ? sadly no matter how "cool" it looks its just a waste of a good engine
You had your speakers on right? Who cares about the wheels and lights! It looks and sounds amazing!
looks and sound are irrelevant as a piece of art it looks great as a motorcycle its totally useless and a waste of a good engine
nicky howard
I had the sound on... the sound stinks! It sounds like it's in need of more than just a good adjustment. Horrible!
nicky howard You do realise the purpose of a motorcycle right? its meant to be ridden as in moving ! you can get away with solid wheels on a car because of the inherent stability of having 4 wheels.
On 2 inline wheels as per most motorcycles stability is everything and the worst thing you can do is use solid wheels because as soon as you get a strong crosswind your very nice artsy fartsy bike is going to be on its side in a ditch.
Ehm, what good engine?
I can more than appreciate Akrapovic for their hard work, but it's just not my style with design and engine choice. Much respect for them doing this, I sure as hell couldn't do something like this.
Oh yeah, real state of the art...with a hard tail? Another fancy looking non practical custom bike, meant to be looked at rather than ridden.
Awesome bike, video looks so cool. Thank you so very much for sharing. For Bobby and Pelle.
The motorcycle of the future will phase in and out of focus.
Beautiful art work an design love the lines .. looks styling jus standing still .. hope the next build you'd concider the V rod engine ...
nice bike!
I would never let anyone ride this bike, I don't care how good of a rider they are! This bike is simply bad ass.
looks like it can go, thank goodness you will run out of gas before you get very far no brake ugly useless wheels 1800 cc and a pint of gas too much time on some builders hand should have spent less time building more time learning how to work the camera
it has both front and rear brake, just sayin
Cestitam na genioznosti,veliki pozdrav iz Srbije!
What is this song? Shazam is going crazy :(
i think the bike is great !!! i love the sound and the design :)
no rear brake, sounds awful, like something from those stupid chopper shows.
+truantray There is a rear brake. It's using sprocket as a discbrake, you can see the calipers at 1:18 - 1:20
I really must be different because this is a sweet bike and I love the sound of the motor. Riding it in 1 degree temps is really ballsie.
I agree with you. It's no doubt what we're seeing here is jealousy that oozes from the fingertips of the ignorant. That's my take anyway.
Tony Roach I'll be glad to see this video reshot when the weather is warmer and you can get that motor kicking out some louder notes at higher rpms.
Stick to pipes
Looks very cool! The sound is also amazing!
It's horrible it's ugly it's not comfortable I don't know I don't know ;)
That is an awesome bike! I wonder if crosswinds affect handling with those solid wheels.
Worlds worst camera man
beautifull bike and increible image of the video, what camera has to use?
That shit sucks
Always interesting to see the future of chopping/bobbing..potentially.
it's hideously ugly and unrideable!!!
super nice and the best from holland well done
Another loud Harley that cant corner
I like how this bike, unlike most European and Japanese bikes, didn't just copy a 100 year old Harley Davidsons incredible looks!
один раз по луже и ты сразу вспомнишь создателя этого шедевра!
It's awesome, respect for akrapovič
Thanks youtube for recommending 😂
Those wheels are amazing and the engineering in that bike is awesome!
This bike is cool and all but it wasn't what I was expecting. I thought from the thumbnail that the back of the bike had a spherical ball instead of a wheel. Now that would be spectacular.
It is what it is, a demonstration of some guy's dream... If you are into that sort of stuff, good luck to ya.
love the sound
i have my own KTM RC8 & the Ducati Hypermotard 1100s.. & m gonna get this beast for my collection..
Is the background score something I can find online or was it composed only for this video?
looks awesome exept seat; i truely like hand bars lovely mirrors and toplight look perfect
Ein wunderschönes Design. Mit dem Motorrad wäre ich auch gern mal fahren!
another visually stunning special that wobbles around at 27 mph
nice looking bike, very good sound too
seems to have an unbelievable top speed of at least min. 30 miles per hour!
Hell on wheels!
great masterpiece.....loved mostly the rear view mirror and the headlights.....great great great piece of top notch man's dream bike....
The secret extended troll footage? Why yes I did.
You'right, i thought it looked like a MB rear shock too, so i had a look at the bikes page on the Akra page and found this: "Rear Fox Air", so yes its a fox air shock.
I like the way they angled the mirrors to give it the feel of a scorpion from the front. I need that Akra toque asap as well.
Cool video, sick bike....nice work
I don't know what mix that is but I think that it is Up & Down by Night Rise Sounds.
