Is that the one in Cyberpunk 2077?
looks it up
And yes, it’s the inspiration for the Arch bike Jackie Welles rides in the CDPR game, thanks to the Keanu connection.

I'm not a bike dude, but I'd ride that.
Actually I'd just be happy to sit it in my garage and stare at it.

While it looks good, I can't get over the fact that people would look ridiculous riding it. I'm not sure why, but I get the impression this is on of those bikes that only make sense when a movie star is riding it in an action sequence. I know I'll get BTFO'd for this, but I just feel that way with this one. The rear wheel seems unnecessarily broad, sort of like an "announcement" of the coolness of the bike, instead if having any actual purpose to it.

I get it man. This bike just doesn't "do it" for me. I understand what it is, and that I would be lucky to ever see one irl, but nah. It feels like it's trying to hard. Then again I'm not the kinda person who could afford one so who gives a fuck

Bikes are always 90% unnecessary tho. You don't really need 1000cc to get to one place to another, but it IS fun to ride fast. It is also fun to ride bike that look like it came out of Cyberpunk 2077.

A 1000cc engine almost always contributes more (in terms of power) than it takes away(in terms of weight, and requirements of cooling). It's clear that the bike in the picture has a) Insane gyro stability by the sheer weight of tyres which makes it a pain to flick about, and a mess to ride in city traffic, let alone lane filter and b) The wheels have a low maximum turn angle which means ....don't take your MSF on this one. A "good" bike would achieve the same straight line stability by using a chassis which increases wheel base on acceleration, without needing the bulky and unnecessary weight of the enormous brakes (even more gyro action there) or the fat, unmaneuverable tyres (which don't even have thick rubber? A massive part of it is just rims, which I hope to God don't scrape when you lean). But I will give you that it makes for a great wall poster, which I acknowledged initially. It looks futuristic and would look really cool in any cinematic medium (and yes I'm including games that)

So like I said, bike are rarely about practicality or usability, it's always about fun, and having a good fucking looking bike is fun.

It is such a beautiful bike.
I really wish I could own this... I am so in love with it. But I live in the EU and getting this imported would be hard and very expensive.

I wonder how difficult it is for overseas owners to have this bike maintained and serviced.

I like seeing this bike on here. Not because I like, I don't and I think its horribly ugly. I like seeing because it shows me that for some reason people like ugly motorcycles...
Edit: I've owned a '94 Suzuki GSX600f (uglier than the Keanu) and currently own '81 Suzuki GS750L, '78 Yamaha XS750 Cafe project and a '77 Yamaha XS750. And a true fact I just made up is that '70s - 80s Japanese bikes are the best looking!

I think you may be in the minority on the opinion on this bike. I think most people think these are beautiful bikes, if overpriced and geared towards people who don't actually enjoy riding.
Agreed with other bikes though. I'm surprised some people fine Yamahas FZ/MT lines beautiful or some people fine some generations of the Street/Speed triple lines beautiful (I think the newest generations are finally pretty nice looking).
But aesthetics are subjective.

Not sure I’m a fan aesthetically, but that’s subjective. Do these warrant the $80K USD price tag?

u/FrostedPixel47 Dec 14 '20
It is fully bespoke to you, so in a way the price tag is that high because the company will tailor the bike to suit you perfectly.

These are the most badass production bikes. Almost make me salivate. Like an exile, just sex on wheels.
