Default Road King Scrambler...

I know how often all of us have thought of taking our 750 pound baggers and making a Scrambler out of them, looks like someone beat us to it though.
On a serious note... why? Watch the video. IMO its ridiculous, the bike obviously doesn't handle very well in the dirt and its not really even a very rough road hes on. I just don't get it.

Here’s proof that just because you CAN do something doesn’t mean you SHOULD do something. Cuz that’s sure not a Road King any more and it doesn’t look like it can do much scrambling, either.

To each his or her own, I guess. Not for me.

PS - it got a write up in the Bagger blog - maybe that was the goal. Someone’s 15 minutes of internet fame.

If that little squirt in the fairy boots actually touches when he puts his foot down, that twig is gonna snap.

I see this with people who never had to muscle a bike through some tough single track. Hell the wr250r is 298lbs and thats 50lbs too heavy to be a real capable dirtbike. A 800lb dirtbike is just wrong.

I was thinking the same thing . why would you want to ruin a good motorcycle hacking it up like that.
