Default Dare to be different!! unique bikes

This thread is dedicated to those who dare to be different and who dont follow the trend of the day. You know back when everybody had chrome those who dared to step outside the box went the anti-chrome way and blacked out everything on there bikes. Now its the new fad/trend and its not unique anymore. I go to the bar and see as many(if not more) blacked out bikes as there is chrome.

So post pics of your bike if youve got something unique that nobody else has or even just a unique hand made part on there. You can also post pics of others bikes if they are unique. Ill start out with a few pics of bikes i like.

Also this is more about the bike being unique and the owners ingenuity than if the bike is "cool" or not. Someone can put a ton of ingenuity into a bike and be unique, but ugly and they have my respect for thinking outside the box.

Those are certainly unique. But the one with the rotary engine is "cool". Just think, some people complain about the heat from a v-twin.

Yeah, they are all certainly different bikes. Even if it isnt practical somebody still spend hundreds of hours making that bike. Btw if you go to youtube you will find the videos of the guy riding that rotary bike.

Here i found the video.

And of course I always admire Lucky Keizer and his 5 liter V-Twin that he sawed off a Rolls Royce merlin V12 from a WWII Mosquito bomber he found in a paddock in Australia.

That's a Radial engine in the second photo of the first post.

Rotary engines (aka "Wankel") are what the put in old Mazdas

On a related note, Suzuki used to sell a bike with a rotary engine back in the early 70's, the RE5
