It was a small bobber..didn't pack a lot of power..had a few problems here and there but they were a pretty fun motorcycle to ride around town. I went through a few of them in a ton of different paint jobs and styles. Not sure whatever happened to the company or if they are still making motorcycles but I would of loved to own something similar with a bit of a bigger engine and beefed up frame.

At the time I wasn't into photography so I didn't have that many pictures which sucked since I have around 5 other styles I lost the pictures to. Everywhere I went people would stop and talk to me about this motorcycle it was just nuts. And the fact you could of bought this for a price of a scooter was crazy. I could go cruising all weekend long for the hefty price of just 2 dollars lol

Heres a few pics of it stock:

I loved this seat design so much. Silver flaked out seat with blue metal flake pinstriping / dedication to Von Dutch. I always got the bullshit " ohhh how can you sit on it with no cushion, blah blah blah"... didn't care..loved the seat.

What about engine? i think its to small

Yeah I mentioned that in the article.. It really needs 250cc minimum for an engine and then a stronger frame to handle that..

I know a lot of people would think it's a sin, but I would LOVE a 600cc Suzuki GSXR engine in a bobber. I absolutely low how fun those engines are. The engine look of it sucks but the power would be awesome.

I just checked out their website looks like they made their knew Kikkers DOT approved and they are much bigger in size. Just not a fan of those huge tires.
