I could see for a four stroke in general But on a buzzy two-stroke engine nope, and that bike is so impractical being so bare-bones
That you would get your clothing dirty on a dry day all let alone if there was any moisture or you hit a puddle,
Those builders that build for art but not for practicality I don’t understand, vehicles are to get you to one place in the other,
If you’re gonna go somewhere go somewhere safely knowing the speed/how fast you’re going, knowing the temperature of your engine, the RPM of your engine it makes no sense to me, Most have No speedo, no front brake no nothing so that means it’s nothing so just put it in the dumpster,
Agreed something may look good but it’s not practical it should be wall art not street legal in any means, if I was a judge at those shows those artsy fartsy bikes would even be allowed to be on the floor,
Goin to dozens of motorcycle shows over the years there were so many bikes that were so low to the ground if you hit at a a penny on the ground and you would bottom out can totally be dangerous, that is to me that stupid, but so is almost everything nowadays so who knows
