When are they going to have a walk-through of you shop on SpeedVision or Discovery? A walk through back in time to see early motorcycles being produced today. Spend a little time at your shop, spend a little time at S&S, spend some more time walking through V-Twin (NY & Kansas City).
Let the world know that we’ve kept the early motorcycle’s alive.
You have to keep knocking on the networks door, but pretty soon, they’ll open it a just a crack to peer out… and then kick it in on their face.
Seeing guys making these in a modern shop gives you an appreciation of the people who made the originals with more primitve equipment a hundred years ago. Nice to see. Are they street legal?
I had to do a double take when the comment was made about “Amazing shot for the vintage bike collector” I would think think these would have little value as vintage bikes. They are new reproductions and as such would be interesting for the relic collectors, but only as something rideable that looks like the bikes they collect. I might be splitting hairs here, but if you buy one of these as a collectors item, the only way they will have collector value is if the company goes out of business.
Don’t get me wrong……. I love the look of the motorcycle and would love to have one as a rider, but it appears that it’s priced like a true 1910 but has a value of a 2009.
Best of luck to you guys.
a fully documented original bike goes for 50,000 up. a recent restored 2/3 repro unit went for 70,000.00 in walnecks the other day. a timeless starts $8995.00 retail
Thanks for that info, Mikey. I was really typing without all the information I needed. My apologies. I would have thought they would sell for much higher than that. Would you happen to know how many have made it out into the wild so far?
Im sorry, but I feel that replicas should be illegal. Cars, watches, bikes etc. Im not going to deny the fact that it is awesome that they can recreate old bikes because that is awesome. But I think if you want one buy the real thing. There is so much more to say about it by having the real thing. The same goes for Lamborghini, Ferrari, Cobra, Rolex, etc. replicas. They are not right to show something that isnt real.
MPH,
Apparently you dont know who I am. I am in the “bike builder World” buddy.
Also, this is a HD related blog? Last time I checked HD was losing their ass and Im doing pretty damn well. S&S? Hmmm last time I checked I have been defending the Smith family/S&S for months now while assholes bash them for laying some people off and selling a few un nedded machines. So really, are you on here talking to us builders to spread some stink or do you know your shit?
Maybe all the assholes who bitch and complain about S&S laying a few people off should be MORE pissed at HD for laying oh about 27x as many people off…But no some dicks are too infatuated with their baby HDs and dont want to hear about how bad their precious company is doing.
Conrad with respect you missed the point. The point MPH made is if you hate reproductions then S&S hust be on your hate list as it is a repoduction of a HD motor. In addition they also reproduce vintage style motors, one could say that is exactly what Timeless does. Give some props to Timeless, it is an amazing and faithful reproduction done here in America. A rare thing indeed.
thanks rideout. s&s is an incredible asset to the business and an icon. thankfully they do reproduce legend engines and to to high standards. mirroring the past age of motorcycling is something most all people who love motorcycles tend to appreciate . its awesome that we as regular consumers can enjoy the past because of efforts of passionate suppliers. keep it going
I agree with conrad on the Rolax and bad imitation Lambos, But You have to see this bike in person to really get it. These are a limited edition reproduction, they are so perfect it is amazing. true Respect to the orgional and that is what they are about , Respect and Passion {YOU CANT WAIT TILL YOUR NEXT LIFE}

Cyril would look great riding one down Main Street in Daytona infront of the Budweiser wagon
Those are great. best wishes
What an awesome repo machine. Wish I could have one.
Best of luck to the builders.

i wonder why conrad is on a hd related blog, does he hate s&s engines and the bike builder world too?
