My back hurts from watching this
Coming from someone who’s built 2 hard tails😂

I thought you were pullin a wheelie on a 1200 sportster from the thumbnail

Lol so did I. I thought, nice wheelie.

Haha
Same lol
This bike is for when you absolutely, positively NEED to show everyone how badass you (try to be) are.
Yea your a bad ass when your spawned out across the asphault from a wreck from a pot hole lol
Or how immature you are...
It's an indicator of how much testosterone you have lost.
Honestly idiots are bad ass, people think dare devil's are bad ass, and this is at least as dangerous
Riding these bikes without suspensions, gives you a "sore ass" for sure. And probably some spinal surgery in the future. But when you end up doing wheelies in your wheelchair, then you will be a real badass.

I remember when these were very popular and tv was filled with reality shows about people who built them. I always thought they looked stupid and ridiculous. I guess I was ahead of my time on that one.
Me to,
Never understood that whole thing.
Big horsepower,
Huge tire,
I didn't realize you couldn't see the road either.
Waste of some nice components.
@@jimmyd8157 lol not big horsepower at all, even a lot of car engines are producing higher hp per cc, they mainly turn fuel into noise, i dont think it would keep up with a 600cc superbike.
I was there with you. Clowns building clownmobiles.
@@jimmyd8157 I couldnt understand what was the fascination with these crappy things. Still dont.
@Robert Rivera me too feel sad for those who buy these POS, sometimes not realizing they were watching a Hollyweed movie series!!! coming from an older motorcycle (and car and boat) mechanic.

Am I the only one who keeps leaning to the left while watching the video, kind of hoping to somehow see around the tank?
no you are not alone.
cant se shit past the tank and handle bar.
@@extec101 Agreed... was trying to look into the reflection of the gas tank to see where his camera was... couldn't tell.
@@twofacepalmer1212 Hope no little kid runs out in front of him......he'd never see 'em.
@@conanlive3784 The camera height definitely gives a false impression of impaired vision. I'm sure the camera is located somewhere 'upper-chest' high.
Its right there list barely out of reach
Remember those chopper shows? I always loved the episode where Jesse James is riding his newly built chopper to Sturgis. He makes it about an hour out of town before his engine starts coming apart. Luckily, he had a big truck with a trailer and a full set of tools following close behind. They rebuilt it really quick and then he pretended to ride it the rest of the way.
that motor jesse had built, cost more than any motor you have pal. I know exactly where that motor came from. And I can tell you now, it was built to take a beating. Shit happens at times.
@@bigkountry29 guess he insulted your boyfriend Jesse LOL😂😂
In fairness, he was probably using S&S crate engines covered by a pretty solid two year warranty. Sometimes things just go sideways.
@@notshared4072 True. The funny part was he acted like he just put a toothbrush in his pocket and rode 1,000 miles. He had a a team of support people following him the whole way. Rich dude, he can afford it!
@@bigkountry29 cost don't mean it isn't dog shit. Hahaha
Two years later... He's still riding around with the choke on.
hahahahahaha

@@coyster530 because it's got a Mickey mouse air filter among other things

Honestly it's stressing me out watching you ride this because of the view 😂😅
60k for that are kidding me. I'll give you 500.00 so I can spend the rest on making it safe and functional. If that's what people call art then my dog just left a masterpiece in my back yard.
dazed_confused moto_rider lol so fucking true, not even worth $12,000 worth of parts in a turd
I love the impaling air filter feature on this bike lol
Your dog shits choppers? That's incredible
For real, that shit tank constantly in front of me in this video is already pissing me off; and I don't even have one red cent in this pile of Death Trap. Best advice, take out and sell motor, and resulting frame wheels etc. load in a truck and bring back to where the builders got it from the, Scrap yard.
The guy knows shit about bikes and the builder knew that! BUM RAPED.
When you are admitted to emergency ward with an air cleaner embedded in your body somewhere.... “so you ride a chopper, do you?”
Nope, they'll say "We're used to to removing the weird things people stick up their butts and we try not to judge, so just stop with the 'I ride a chopper' story, we've heard them all, OK?"
Hahahaaa 😆
$60000 and 6 miles doesn't make you a biker.
So you're the arbiter of bikers?
He is
if you can ride this for 6 miles, you’re a biker
endomobo yes.
@@davidschleifman1588 no your not, more like a poser
“I like yelling at strangers when they’re carrying boxes, it’s kinda like, my thing.” This guy is unique 😂
Wow that thing looks stupid as hell...
Glad I'm not the only one that thinks that
This thing was built during the Orange County Chopper reality show era! Noisy and uncomfortable to ride!
@@locobadger3376 dont think I think I ever saw a license plate on any of those orange county bikes, probably couldnt pass a safety.
@FrischFisch LP not with that bike
Wow how much stupid do you need to create that monstrosity
There's only one chopper I would ever buy and ride, and they still look great today, and that would be the genius of Indian Larry. Works of art on two wheels
It looks like he's doing a wheelie for 12 minutes
That was all the craze in the early 2000's
How times have changed!
My friend was lookin to buy a chopper around 2005......we all told him to wait 10 years or so.....he's still riding his Honda CB 750.
Indeed it was.
Thanks God
I miss the aughts. Quiznos, nickelback, good times.
“Why’s that guy not looking at me!” 😂😂😂
He didnt rev it up enough, and probably isnt wearing the Pirate costume.
The guy probably looks like an idiot on it. Wearing a neon jacket and a full face helmet. What a nerd!
Daddy didn’t love me enough?☹️
I think he wanted a thumbs up
Broom broom broom
I just wanted to say thanks for making this video. When I was a kid growing up in the 70s, choppers, to me, were the greatest looking bikes in the world. Incredibly unusual, starting with Peter Fonda’s Captain America Harley Panhead on forward. Testosterone, machismo, open road, freedom and joy. I’ve always heard that extreme choppers were bad to ride for the very reasons that you so comprehensively outlined in this video, but until I actually saw this, I had no idea how bad they really were. It’s heartbreaking in a way, because when you’re a kid and you don’t know any better and you see a bike like that, you instantly fall in love and build up in your mind that this is the greatest motorcycle, and the greatest type of motorcycle in the world. Quite a buzz kill when you find out that in all actuality, it’s quite the opposite. Well done Sean!!!
there is a difference between a regular chopper and this abomination.
As I responded to Sebastian before ~ I STILL would buy it ;
( if for no other reason than nostalgia-sake ).
"I like yelling at strangers when they're carrying boxes, it's kind of like my thing."
LMAO
Do you ask them to paint your yoo-hoo GOLDDDD, too?😜
Hilarious
Riding that ridiculous chopper is turning him into a weirdly-specific douche!
What’s this can some one explain pls
“I like yelling at strangers carrying boxes, it’s kind of my thing” lol I’ll subscribe just for that line
Does it come with a burial plot?
+Antonio Aguilar it should
I'll take the colonoscopy air intake and meat slicer primary please. Lol, what a monstrosity.
Probably not but whatever left of the bike doubles as a tombstone
It damn sure needs to
That’s part of the $60k price xD
Those are for the "look at me, look at me!" crowd!
I thought they looked stupid 20-25 years ago and it's even worse now. I built my Harley from the frame up, but somewhat like a Fat Boy. It also had a much, much better S&S stroker motor that wouldn't die. Those RevTech engines were off the shelf imports for the most part.
These things came and went faster than gold prospectors in the 1800s.
A real man would ride it barefoot! What a wussy.
We knew a guy who rode with sandles.
With bellbottoms
Pshhhh. A real man would ride it naked with rattlesnakes hanging from his balls.
I ride to the liq at night barefoot or in my sandles just can’t be a vag about it
Exactly
My family were motorcycle fanatics in the 1960s and 70s and we always considered choppers to be gaudy looking impractical things.
Chopper rides like a high speed steam roller you steer with a wet rope with the roll neck on your jersey rolled up over your face to your forehead
@@ericchapman399 I saw absolutely nothing appealing about choppers. And orange county choppers took it to the extreme. By the way some of the bikes they built and sold for 100 grand plus they are lucky to get 1 thousand for them now. For one thing they were grossly under powered. To me a beautiful motorcycle is a 1966 stock triumph TR-6.
Words of wisdom, "don't ride this bike" lol
I've ridden some Highneck Hardtails before and they definatelly take some getting used to, though since I'm 6'8 I didn't have the problems with forward visibility like that. The only two things I would change about this bike would be to install a sprung seat and a small digital speedo, then it would be perfect.
Also, a right hand mirror
imagine how dangerously slippery those grips would be when wet
How would they get wet in a climate controlled garage?
@@bludmakesgrassgrow
*typing out long reply*
*realizes the joke*
*delete*
Nice one lol
They'll also stay dry in an enclosed trailer.
Imagine how hot they would be parked in the sun for an hour.
"grips" more like slips...
Sean: *hits tiny bump *
Sean's back: "ight ima head out"
I'd take a chopper over one of those 30+" front wheel baggers any day.
Same here 😎😎😎😎
All day....
Baggers will go out of style. $80k for a motorcycle that looks like a 1980’s child’s big wheel toy. No thanks!
I 💯% AGREE ... if Choppers are considered stupid and impractical ~ Baggers are JUST as stupid and impractical. It's a matter of preference. To each his/her own.
The clown shoes of motorcycles
Much love from Yorkshire
And your left foot shoe laces so close to that belt. An accident just waiting to happen.
Shoe laces on a motorcycle are always a bad idea
Ive had my laces caught in the shifter of every motorcycle ive owned & its a horrible feeling! Couldn't imagine an open primary!!!
usually the come with a guard so that doesnt happen.
@@beardoallin657 correction... So that it's less likely to happen.
@@billychaney4581 my shoelace wrapped around my shifter without me realising and when i went to stop the bike and put my foot out well it didnt budge and i hit the deck lol
A perfect example of why so few folk ride a chopper.
and that belt is going to love those long boot laces you have...
Yeah or it grabs the cuff of your pants and breaks your leg...
I wonder how many conversations went like this back in the chopper era after watching a night of 2 wheel TV:
Husband: Honey, I need to buy a chopper, a man has got to be free
Wife: WTF, you don't need a chopper, and certainly not for $80,000
Husband: It's not just for me, it's for us, an investment in our future, it will be worth ten times that in 10 years
Wife: We barely have $8,000 let alone $80,000
Husband: We have a $100,000 home equity line of credit on this house that we just bought for nothing down on that sub-prime, pick your payment loan. Tell you what, we will diversify and also invest $20,000 in those Beanie Babies that you think will cover Junior's college
Wife: Honey, Let's do it, you're so smart, and I still think that GED test was biased as to why you didn't pass, pretty soon you are going to be promoted to night manager of that 7/11
Husband: I hate that job, I think I'm going to start flipping houses instead
How does this not have 10k likes?
Honda fury looked like it was a lot more fun & brand new only run 10k. I choose 100k broken back, minus left leg and death by impalement
Aaron Robledo wow sounds like you buy a bike based on how you crash. Sounds kind of puss to me. Stay safe don’t ride.
S S you sound like someone who doesn't have a bike
honda fury is as much 'choppery' as i can bare stylewise, but truth be told it ride just like a regular bike and for that it should be crowned the king of chopper
@@outlaw3440 i have 2 and would rather have a fury
I want a fury
This bike looks like something an Appalachian lotto winner would buy on day #1. Then try to sell 16 months later when they're almost bankrupt.
The chopper scene is in fact growing currently. Not so much choppers like that factory style chopper but sick old school home built chops.
Noticed that even around here in Ontario Canada. Lots of The Horse and Cycle Source style bikes that are homebuilt and rideable. Great to see around here!
Best enjoyed from a distance
Every time I watch this I laugh more and realize my bone stock 1993 intruder 1400 is an amazing machine you can ride endlessly.
Same with my old honda
Love them intruders I have a 94 and 02
I'm building my own chopper. Welding and all and the appeal of choppers is lost with buying a used one. Choppers are meant to be personal. If you want a chopper most likely it's better to build your own to fit you yourself.
Assuming you have the time, knowledge, and space to do it. I will do as much as I can on my bike, but without a workshop it is hard, and there is some stuff that just has to be done right, like electrics, and welding that I straight up can't do. To build a really nice bike takes skills that a lot of people just don't have. I'd rather see bikes built by professionals than death-traps built by amateurs.
Reading these comments people confuse choppers with this custom bike in the video ..... it’s not a chopper
@@christopherdean1326 you can see plenty of those on Craigslist.
@@teamsterjeffrey Hahaha! Was just about to say the same thing!
Just love your comments. I was laughing the whole time. I hope your back is okay. But Sean, you broke the record for riding a ridiculous chopper - 12 whole minutes!!
Love my chopper. Not a bit afraid to ride it all over. Comfy and stretched out. The only thing I don't like is hard side winds. they can be brutal sometimes. Mine is a big dog k9 soft tail.
Back in the day that I was the test rider for a tyre brand I had to test various chopper motorcycle brands. In the main, they were surprisingly accomplished in their execution, but the Texas style high tank choppers are dangerous, stupid, and, as with all bad ideas, they were quickly consigned to oblivion. Seeing where you’re going is a pretty basic need!
I laughed the whole test drive! "That's what the dragons for"
I never saw the attraction in apes, suicide shifters (which aren't hard to use if you have riding experience) or hardtail bikes, polished chrome, and I didn't really enjoy the mushy feel of acceleration on the only HD I ever had.
I can understand why a builder would need a good price when everything but the engine is hand fabricated, turned parts on a lathe, or machined in their own shop from blanks. It takes plenty of time and lots of finish work to make each part super smooth and highly polished.
Yet, once the whole process is complete what you really end up with is a good looking museum piece.
Just because you can doesn't mean you should
Man...you are way too funny, whatever bike you review, it could even be a lawnmower, you make it so entertaining, you should have your own show on TV. Much respect from Macedonia, Europe! 💪
Choppers will never die! They just go through fazes. Thankfully the faze that this bike was built in is over!!! Choppers should be dirty knucks, pans, and shovels!
true that!!!
Ya, i've noticed the biker gangs are on touring bikes now. With fibreglas fairings and bags.
@@gregorytimmons4777 sure.. but they all got an ol iron in the shed.. dirty broken evo... rebuilt pan... why beat the shit out of a classic.. out of memories... when you can just get a new glide for the riding...
@@gregorytimmons4777 The bikers have always ridden baggers. How else do you trasport the product??
@@quantumleap4023 purse?
I honestly love choppers, but I don’t want one unless for show for like 2,500 bucks lol. They’re impracticable for daily use but they’re absolute works of art.
I was nervous just watching that test drive. No speedometer and I couldn't see the road. I need a xanax. Lol!
i94yeh2p When you can go at 30mph max. you don't need a speedo.
@@XtreeM_FaiL i dont have a speedo on my converted Ninja but i can see the other cars on the road to tell my speed lol
Is it street legal without an odometer?
Neighbor's BF bought something similar, Said it cost $80k to build. Bragged he picked it up for $12K.
Asked how many miles it had on it. He claimed less than 10k but admitted it didn't have an odometer (or any gauges).
Neighbor got sick of irking the rest of her neighbors with 20 minutes warm-up time before it could move without stalling. Discovered it was borderline un ridable.
He tried to sell it for $10k, then $8k, then $6k. Wound up parting it out for about $2,500.
Neighbor dumped him. New BF rides a Yamaha.
She seems a lot happier.
Custom choppers like that are for looking at, not for riding.
you are right
That's like a drag style Harley on the Fentanyl of steroids.
Not even very good looking
OCC trailered their bikes to shows because they were junk. They were glorified assemblers not bike builders. They had a table setup at a show I took my son to. He wanted an autograph so we stood in a long ass line. We get up tp the table and they said "an autograph is $12" I said "You done lost your damn mind, the reason you ate on that side of the table is because of all these people in line on this side of the table." I went to Jessie James shop and he was walking through and he already passed after saying "Hey man" I asked "Can I get your autograph?" He turned around and walked back. Gave me an autograph, shook my hand, and told me thanks. By the way that talented man is a bike builder. He's also a car builder and one hell of a gunsmith.
Paul and paul jr. Suck !!! everything they built looks like the same bike with a different "theme"...
this just make me realize how good of a bike are the ninja 650 and sv650 lol
even my rebel 400 is like a lazyboy compared to this thing lmao
I've been building HD's since '72, didn't take long to move from choppers to bobbers. Now I ride a "parts built" Hydra Glide Pan and a Evolution Dyna Glide.
Just before I got my Dyna I traveled on a swing arm Pan/Shovel, 21" wheel, 2" wide glide, buckhorn style bars. Was up in the mountains on a really brisk morning all bundled up, snow on the ground but road was dry. Came up on the tunnel at Wolf Creek pass, it was solid ice! I studied it for a moment knowing I would wind up going 100's of miles out of my way if I turned around. I got the bike just rolling and eased it into second, dragged both feet and slowly chugged thru to the other side.
Try that on a fat tire chopper! If you gave me that motorcycle I'd sell it so cheap for others to probably do the same.
"I like yelling at strangers carrying boxes...." What tha???? Hahaha
Me and my buddy walk around Walmart and yell Sarah and everyone always looks at you crazy. Sometimes you get that nice person that asks if you're OK and if they can help you find Sarah lol. How in the world do you put gas in that bike! They look awesome but I can definitely understand its not a daily rider. Your honesty and videos in general are just great. No swearing, always positive and everyone you have in your shop or around you seem to be good people as well. You need your own show on discovery, i'd watch it every week!! Have a good one and be safe.
BAHAHAHAH, DUDE! You slay me. "Why's that guy not looking at me? I'm on a chopper man!"
Peeling away money doesn't end with overpaying for a motorcycle... there's no shortage of over priced stuff out there... $200k custom mustang, 15k custom electric guitars, $30k turntables, 50k watches, and the list goes on and on.... e bay's a great place to see it all.
I'd rather pay 60K for a cb125.
Man that safety jacket is making that chopper look soooooo much cooler. 👌
Great video, love it.
kind of a bike a pro basketball player would buy
...same type of person who would buy a stretched Busa
🤣
THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS AT LEAST 7FT. OR CLOSE.....
You may not like choppers, but I love mine. I've put a lot of miles on my bike. I know
my sold for 35K new, but I picked it up for 8500, back in 09.
Way to go Jensen 👍🏻
Way to go Jensen 👍🏻
What are you talking about when you say no one cares about choppers? Have you heard of born free? Fuel Cleveland? Not all choppers are 60k and uncomfortable.
mama tried?
Was going to mention all those. Prism supply's congregation, giddy up I'm Texas and countless more. Not to mention all the chopper runs. Choppers are far from dead.
Ben I hardly call these bikes choppers. To be a chopper the bike had to be stock at some point, these are just custom bikes with exaggerated rake and most of these never got ridden much. I’d say they are pretty well dead. The dudes out there chopping their bikes will probably never die off
The now defunct Smoke Out (which, ironically was the spark for Hugh King`s Biker Build Off TV series which evolved into the whole fat tire, too radical to ride bike building craze!). Before Covid cancelled it, Ontario Canada had a party called Freedom Machine. Very cool and laid back version of Born Free.
Please try to get your hands on a Honda Fury!!!! I would really love to see your take, even if it's just on a test drive from a buddy.
I like motorcycles and have an exploding wallet, what should I do?
I know, let's take a cruiser and make it worse in every way. Let's make it harder to ride, let's take off safety equipment like gauges and covers to moving engine parts any part of the bike that sticks out should have a pointy piece stuck on the end, because as a rider, sharp pointy bits are smart to have on a machine that's traveling underneath me at 60 mph, and let's make the seat so low that a midget's baby could flatfoot it right out of the womb.
Sounds like a plan! :)
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
😂😂 that was brilliant 💀😆
Best Commentary ever!
When the chopper craze hits again that chopper will be worth big money choppers will never die i love all bikes and will never talk shit about any of them different flavors for everyone Amen
Why is he not looking at me ? xD
I have a Honda cb 750 chopper, I had many good times on it, it wasn't hardtail tho, it's all how you look doing it, and in the corners I flew thru them, I loved mine
Wait a minute.... Was that you yelling at me in Kentucky last week while i was carrying boxes?
5:33 “I like yelling at strangers with boxes” 🤣🤣🤣 best channel ever
You are an honest dude and I like the scriptures too.
Agree with you about those big primary belts. They look ridiculous and miss the whole point of a chopper, which is surely to be lean and simple. The "grips" are anything but, and the spikes all over it are just asking for trouble. Still love choppers, and I will build one, just not like THAT one.
Only thing cool about that thing is the sound of the motor.
my 1200 sporty sounds better than that.
All straight piped harleys sound like shit
@@arthurmchugh5184 Nothing Harley on that bike. I too prefer at least a little baffle and back pressure. Had a two stroke 1980 RD400 back in the 80`s. I put racing chambers on it but left the fiberglass packing out. LAF but sounded like a tin can with a couple of rocks bouncing around. Got busted for noise, put the packing in and it sounded way better, a little quieter and performed better. A slightly baffled 2 into 1 on a Harley is the best way to go!
I have 2 hard tail custom choppers love them way more than my Electra glide
Hahaha, I love towards the end (you might not get to where you're going.)
The OCC guys actually rode to a few meets on the show pretty good distance.
These are Bar Parker Bikes; you drive them to the bar and park them outside.
I would hate that bike. I like the chopper-ish look but I want to be able to ride it and enjoy it. That's why I bought a Stryker.
The only way to have a hardtail is with a sprung seat. Softail choppers ride sweet. As long as they are built smart.
I was gonna ask why you ain't wearing gloves but that thing is a death trap regardless
Gloves won't prevent impalement by the many, many sharp pointy things on that bike haha.
The problem with that chopper is that it's a rigid, and you are too short for it.
Buying the bike for parts is the way to go and selling it at a hair above cost is recommended. Very nice collection of parts.
It's great to see that a 60k motorcycle still uses a carburated engine. It's not like the first fuel injection system for motorcycles appeared in 1980 or anything like that.
I prefer a carb motor over fuel injected
lol, pre-order our gloves but let me forget mine for a sec
That’s why they are called bar hoppers. Most people I new that had bikes like this also had a cruiser for trips that were longer than going to local bar for a beer or bike show.
A real chopper started off from a stock bike. If it was manufactured that way, it's not a chopper but a $50,000 plus P.O.S. with no purpose.
Right. It can't be a chopper, if it hasn't been chopped. It a custom bike that looks ridiculous.
I saw a video where a Hell's Angle said, "They would fall apart in a few miles." Now I know what he was talking about...
My automotive teacher had a bike just like that, which got me thinking about all the foot room he had for his steel toes lol
I have respect for the guys that build them. I'm still a bobber and big wheel bagger guy. I think they look cool, and replaced the choppers of the past.
id be like Ralph Nader on this one. "Unsafe at any speed." No Thanks!!
That guy is fos the corvair is amazing 😂
And right at 3:45 after this comment is the moment Sean realizes... "Wait...I'm trying to sell this bike".
I can point out 9 things, right off the bat, that I don't like, and you haven't ridden it yet
+Randy Hutchinson I can point out 10 lol
I enjoy riding my chopper, I built it for around $4000.
You can get a lot better seat than that one that will protect your spine. You can get different grips that won't injure you.
You need to make it yours.
The funniest video you have done.Can't stop laughing.
Gotta love when you need to re assemble half of the motor to turn it on
I worked with a woman many years ago who won a chopper of some sort. She liked motorcycles and had been riding for years, but to her diminutive stature, this example was unrideable. She asked if I could help her get it to a shop where she intended to trade it on something more reasonable. It wasn't going to get loaded into my truck without a crane, and it was too long for the 8ft bed! So I decided to ride it to the shop. It was excruciating. The bad local roads with no rear springs, gawking drivers, bad visibility, no gauges... corners were a chore, not a pleasure, and I just knew that @#$% belt was going to grab my pant leg.
We managed to get it to the shop, where she got a great deal on said chopper, and bought some sort of sportster, if I recall. I want to say it was a superlow, but I do remember it was an 883. It's too bad the Streets were a few years off, either the 500 or 750 would have been perfect.
inverted extended front forks very cool ..
put a monitor in the center of the handle bars and a live video camera facing forward ....that frame sure is stretched a bunch .....great urban TT race bike (tavern to tavern) ....you didnt bust your collar bones years ago ...i did both of mine years ago and i cant ride bukes with the handle bars at this position..but believe it or not low riders with drag bars are no problem at all and very comfortable for 1000s of miles on a trip ..its because both of my collare bones are over lapped and im more relaxed with my arms straight out in front of me and a relaxed position on drag bars ...i rode a 1980 sturgis to the sturgis rally and never thought anything about it and great time ...unfortunately a local motorcycle club decided they needed it for parts and i was force into riding my old FLH electra glide fully dressed out and i didnt think i was going to make the following year as the stock buck horn wide dresser bars caused sever pain in my shoulders giving me arm pump and causing my fingers to go numb
