i was lucky enough to have the channel recommended to me when it was just starting. Really hoping modern Paul keeps up with videos like this. This is good stuff
Hes cheeting already, that didnt take long, there was to be no free stuff. That Kawaka for a grand would have done perfect and gave some extra budget.I would have looked for a ?Suzuki M109R (perfect muscle bike) Cheers from Wangavagas
That he got for close to $2000 less than anyone else would've paid for it. For $2000 more than the agreed price that the B&B guys paid they could've come up with easier bikes to build too.
@Mike-q1z9w I know a few folks who have picked up a yamaha for $1500 or less. Myself included. To complement my touring harley, I got a warrior 1700 for $1500 and a long road trip home. 😂
me too, always saw OCC tv series on discovery channel when I was a kid, he basically made me love motorcycles! Glad to see him still doing awesome stuff.
Yamaha made the best metric cruisers by far. Honda kinda started the trend but Suzuki and especially Yamaha took it to the next level. Kind of a shame Paul SR. didn’t find a Raider that was basically just the frame and engine to build off from. Other than maybe a Stryker he got the ideal bike. A Suzuki Intruder would have been cool also. But it’s hard to argue against Yamaha. And that’s coming from a Harley rider that’s still kind of pissed at Yamaha for basically axing their cruiser lineup.
Yamaha’s sound really good with a nice set of pipes. When I was still riding Yamaha all the Harley riders I rode with made comments how good my bike sounded.
Although the Yamaha is a better bike than that $1k Kawasaki, they are extremely similar bikes. Actually Paul SR. did Shawn and Craig a solid by spending $2k more on the Yamaha rather than having the $2k extra to put in the build to be honest, they are truly that similar. If you are crying because you want Paul SR. to lose you obviously don’t understand how similar the bikes are and that would have just gave Paul SR $2k more to throw at it and make it that much better.
@lanejohnson7656 I don't think there has ever been much chance if Paul losing. He has way more resources and connections than Sean or Craig. They have been fighting an uphill battle from the start. I have a ton of respect for Sean going the most difficult route possible
When I first started watching Orange County Choppers I still had dial-up internet! I loved that show! Things have changed a lot since then, but I can honestly say this build off is the best thing I´ve seen on the internet in years and years! Best of luck to Shaun..... I think he will regret pushing a Japanese bike onto Paul Sr ! This series is going to be 🔥🔥 Best wishes from Spain
I have an '05 warrior. There really isn't much in the way mods outside comfort. Unless you want big bore kit and fat tires ... there is a turbo kit I saw... 😅 classic roadstars are a beaut!
@@ride1400fastyea I love my bike they’re great! It has the big bore kit and an aftermarket tuned exhaust. It also got its badges and stickers deleted and given a fresh coat of white! Thing is beautiful but I want to see what it’ll look like with a chopped bobber style fender 🤙
@@ride1400fast MASSIVE difference between a xv1700 and a Warrior.. I had a 06 Warrior that was chipped and I don’t know what else was done to it, just know it was a bad biotch and with Cobra neighbor haters it was a loud biotch also. On group rides I would always have someone different behind me and constantly got the remark “that bike sounds good, but damn is it loud” from Harley guys.. lol. Awesome bikes, but literally zero aftermarket without being a machinist making parts yourself or having skills to make aftermarket parts fit. The xv1700’s are by far more easy to modify and make your own..
I happy that you are doing this “build-off”. I know you will “school them”. Having good friends go a long way! They basically gave you that bike! Good luck, and turn up with something awesome!
For sure. He’s the only one with experience building a custom bike and getting the right look. Craig knows how to work on stuff, but isn’t really into custom built stuff. Sean will have to bring in other people to help him out.
I am so excited to see the Biker Build off ! That Yamaha is GORGEOUS and you stole that thing. Yamaha makes some of the best cruisers on the market. Actually, they make the best everything.
I have built a few bobbers odf the vstars and roadstars, this will finally show his mechanics and style that made him famous. Go head Sr. show them the old skool you.
Looking forward to this. Not surprised he ended up with one of the most "harley" like bikes, but still big air cooled V-Twins are his jam so this should be pretty sweet.
I think it would’ve been really cool to see Paul build an 1100 Magna. They sell for under $3k. It’s still a cruiser, but with a V4 engine to make it just a little different than what he’s used to. It held the title for fastest production motorcycle when it came out. It is not the most aesthetically pleasing bike, but I think that’s a plus because Paul could clean it up and it would look like a totally different machine.
That’s a good foundation to start with!!! I am a Srk cycles fan but I hope you do something cool to this!!! Grew up watching you build bikes glad to see you still killing it!
Money is on paul here! Dudes built some weird stuff. But fundamentally, hes a artist. As long as the ride quality remains in check. Hes pulling a easy win.
I'm glad you're doing this. Is fun to watch. People can say what they want but building a custom bike isn't really in the Shaun or Craig's wheelhouse other then some fun gimmick stuff. I'm fan or all 3 of y'all so not being negative. A Japanese build from you will be cool. I like it all being light hearted and fun. Honestly Shaun might have done himself in already with bike purchase. Good luck!
haha this is hilarious. Already Pauls bike is the best out of the bunch. He wanted him to do a sport bike but found a beautiful cruiser for nearly half the asking price. Man I need to start looking at older bikes. There are some steals out there.
Can't wait to see these bikes finished and maybe meet yall, especially sr. This is definitely a pretty cool bike build off so glad it's not a far ride either
this is so awesome. really gre4at to see paul's mind race looking at a completely new and unfamiliar canvass. i think the metric bikes are growin on him a little bit
I am totally thrown off. The fact that you saw a bike that was decent other than a Harley and complimented it is fantastic! It ain't about the ride, it's about the journey. That is a clean bike for 3k. They were super kind to let it go for that price. The fact that it's a charity helped but even still that's a great deal. How many miles does it have? Regardless, it sounds great and looks great. It's a great base for your to do your magic on. I look forward to what you are gonna do with her! I miss your TV show. I used to love the builds you did and all the custom work from tube bending to tank making. This little challenge should be entertaining. The guys at Bike and Beards are good dudes and you guys seem to get along well.
Paul gets a good bike with ages of experience and Sean got a burned bike to start with, what a brave man.. Personally I wanted to see more Japanese style bike but this bike is great. Make this Yamaha chopper looks badass Mr Paul Sr
Whiskey in an acoustic guitar, dry till gone with port up. For tank, that goes on an electric guitar body that is attached to frame by a skateboard. Add the port to a bmx fork, as if a wheel.
So far the best bike out of the 3 has The Bearded Mechanic, that V-rod is super sweet, Paul Sr is in second place with this Yamaha, and Sean with his burned Triumph is in dead last place.
@@GerryGolob 2 k under market seems like a freebie it's all for charity so no big deal .. but part of the challenge is to build something we can build with out free help . Also tearing apart an already nice bike .
@@dstack18 Its not that nice, it is still a knock-off. Plus, 2k under market is not a freebie. Not a damn think sold by other owners is sold at its actual listing price, the listing price is basically a starting point and its ALWAYS talked down from there, everyone with 2 braincells knows that. Sean and the others could have done the same. You do not get pity points in basically a beauty pageant .
@SecNano lol why you so mad calm down . Like I said it for charity so it's not a big deal . But that dealer would tell us to get bent if we low balled him 2000 under . He knew he was gonna get a free add for his shop that's why he let it go for cheap .
It was refreshing to see a die hard HD afficionado be impressed by what most HD riders ridicule. In the end theyre all bikes and pricier doesnt always mean better. I love my Vstar 1300 deluxe as much as my street glide. Great bike. Got it garage kept one owner 8k miles for 2500 bucks. Cant beat the value per dollar
I had a 2002 Yami V Star Silverado 1100 before my Harley. Great bike, super comfortable, just severely underpowered. I can't wait to see what you all come up with.
I've owned several Yamaha V Stars. Not only are they good bikes, but there is so much you can do with them. People always used to ask me if mine was a Road King, and I would always tell them, no, its a Hardly Davidison...
I really like this version of Paul snr.
zen paul is def more chill
i was lucky enough to have the channel recommended to me when it was just starting. Really hoping modern Paul keeps up with videos like this. This is good stuff
I can’t imagine the shit, that show put him through for ratings
He's always been cool but he got a bad image from the show. My Pop met him back in the day dude was super chill
Same
I would have jumped on that first $1000 bike so fast. That mileage is nothing to worry about. Looks like it was well taken care of
Vulcan 1500s are pretty amazing machines
I agree, $1000 was a steal for it
Paul almost bought it without even looking at anything else😂
Agree.
I think Sean would have snapped it up just to have in his collection.
Ill be honest. Im really looking forward to this build. These are bikes that are accessible to almost everyone
yeah it's awesome we have jap cruisers all over the world, Harleys not so much. And if you find a Harley it's usually the price of 3 Honda's
absolutely
After seeing the fire damaged Triumph that Shaun picked up, you're at an advantage already, work wise. Cheers from New Zealand.
Looking forward to the build, from Chch
I was hoping he'd go totally outside the Paul Snr square and do a real cool cafe. Still looking forward to what he does though. Cheers from Whanganui
Why Shaun would buy a fire-damaged bike is beyond me. Crazy.
Hes cheeting already, that didnt take long, there was to be no free stuff. That Kawaka for a grand would have done perfect and gave some extra budget.I would have looked for a ?Suzuki M109R (perfect muscle bike) Cheers from Wangavagas
Yeeeeees this is amazing, cheers from Auckland
For Paul 1000 Bucks for us 5 Grand 😂
Exactly. Lol
nah its actually 1k i just looked
Nah fr tho 😂💯
@@YoungMacy Seems like a very good deal. Just to tinker with something after work.
Exactly
It’s almost like Paul Snr didn’t realise a world of beautiful ultra reliable well priced and well made Japanese cruisers existed 😂
lol
Exactly! The bafflement 🤣
True!! He looked at that first one for a 1000 and said “how’s that possible” lol
cheap because its a poor imitation of a Harley with no character or street cred
Or oil leaks
Funny, everyone voted for Paul to build a Japanese bike so that he's out of his comfort zone- Then he brings home a Japanese HD clone...
That he got for close to $2000 less than anyone else would've paid for it. For $2000 more than the agreed price that the B&B guys paid they could've come up with easier bikes to build too.

Hey... smarter not harder. I give him that 🤷♂️
Would this work with a sport bike? No.
Agreed. Sean is way more ambitious with the burnt bike
That Yamaha is going to be a great bike to start with. I can't wait to see what you do with it! Agree, THIS is the Paul Sr. we want to see more of!
Paul Sr definitely got the best starter bike, this looks like it is only going to go one way
As a roadstar owner I'm excited about to see what the legend Paul can do with it, hopefully something unique!
Same here I was glad he picked it
Those road stars are incredible bikes for the money! They're 3500 all over marketplace
@@NWI_Steel Best metric cruisers in my opinion. It’s a shame Yamaha pretty much axed the Star crusisers..
I'm not come on man people like Brian Veney already revolutionized what we could do with these bikes on our own.
@@lanejohnson7656 agreed! The road stars were such a hiden gem. Big torquey air cooled pushrod v-twin. They made a better harley than harley 😆
Feels good seeing Paul Sr still do his thing
me too, always saw OCC tv series on discovery channel when I was a kid, he basically made me love motorcycles! Glad to see him still doing awesome stuff.
That's a beautiful bike. Heck I'd love to have it just the way it is.
That bike sounds good, cool 2 see Harley/ u.s.a bike guy appreciate how cool other bikes are, I've only owned triumphs, but appreciate all bikes
Yeah. I like how Shawn, Craig and Sr all worked out who would work with what bike. Seeing PaulSr on a foreign bike is good. 🙂
*PAUL SR. YOU GOT THIS DUDE!!!*
I'm happy to see a once was an industry giant, Still doing the thing but being propped up by a couple of TH-camrs, that's really awesome!!
He is THE reason why this competition is so entertaining, he's the wow factor that the other guys are propped upon. Respect to all involved.
Paul's gonna win easily. Those roadstars are great platforms for customizing
I'm definitely interested in this series, I think you'll rock the place with that scoot!
Good choice Paul and a great deal!!!!
Paul, ya can't go wrong with that line of Yamaha. Have one myself and LOVE riding it.

Yamaha’s sound really good with a nice set of pipes. When I was still riding Yamaha all the Harley riders I rode with made comments how good my bike sounded.
you should have went with the 1000 dollar bike, that guy would never have given you that bike for 3 g if you werent who you are.
The guy found out it was for charity so prolly cut him a deal. Could happen for anyone.
