Yes, a camera has depth of field, we get it. Being in focus is also really really handy...
Your camera man needs to learn how to focus.
+Hugh Jainus light
OK, very clever build, with probably no expense spared, but now we've seen it run, put it in a glass case and put it away - its all art, and no use for what riding is meant to be about - visceral fun. I'm afraid its another case of form over function. Lazy tractor engine, in a frame that wont handle, with frankly silly wheel diameters that are hard to make go around corners!
I really think a 20 year old 250 would be more fun to ride.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Col. Sir Buffy Horsetrouser You're missing the point, this is Art over function. It was never meant to be the next CBR, KTM 450 EXC etc.... The world is a better place for having something like this in it. Can you imagine living in a place where everything was just was made up of purely passionless, functional things? What a boring and soul killing place that would be.
@@LuckyPause3d Everybody trying to out think themselves here. Trying to debate the importance of it actually being a functional bike. If that's what makes this a fail then there is an awful lot of really uncomfortable, impractical stuff that has already slipped thru and awed the people that are all caught up in custom bikes. It obviously is rolling art if you choose to see it as that. It doesn't have a whole lot of redeeming qualities as a functional and practical bike. I wouldn't want to count on that back tire at speed in a corner or a straight line for that matter. Maybe it's an ode to the old board track racers. I wonder about the capabilities of those tires but then i think of the tires on a Bugatti and their suitability to go 200mph. In reality it's an advertising campaign and it's not the only one. I just scrolled past another video of another possibly even weirder bike for Akropovic. It's really pretty much the same thing as what was built on American Choppers for a number of successful seasons. Corporate symbols showing the "hipness" of the company that commissioned it. I'd be shocked to see that this thing has been licenced and street ridden more than just a few blasts across a parking lot, across a stage or tooling the streets in an industrial park. It's destiny is likely to be on display in the lobby of Akrapovic's Corporate Headquarters.
Most of all what it is is a testament to the effort you must go to now days to stand out from the crowd in the world of high end custom bikes.
focus, unfocus, focus, unfocus. jesus christ hire a new camera man
so fucking irritating
They're different focus points...
SimpleVillain You cling to
+SimpleVillain Thank you!! I opened the link in TH-cam just to make that same comment. These idiot cameramen who think that extreme depth of focus is so cool!! Fucking wankers!!!
+SimpleVillain cameraman is a hipster and just found out about filters
sounds like a lawn mower I used to own...
V-twin with a straight pipe does sound like a lawn mower on idle but in a smaller scale
The play with the focus is so annoying. Just show us the damn bike!!
3 years later .. still no one knows the name of the soundtrack ! :D
whoever is filming this please learn how to focus your camera. i know it looks good focusing and unfocusing a shot but its got to be done selectively, not every 2 seconds. I have a headache now, thanks
That is art! Thank you for that!
A complete work of art that works. I think it is stunning. If you want a cheap, practical form of transport, take the bus. This bike was designed and built for one reason, defy convention in the pursuit of a pure artform that shuns logic. Yes there are people that hate it, However, most folks who ride or have ridden motorcycles would want to own one just because of the work that has gone into it and how it looks. A £10 Casio will, almost always, show you the time more accurately than a £20,000 Rolex. There is a market for both....
piękny motocykl, szacunek dla twórcy.Brawo
Music in video? please ! Thanks :)
designer's story of his art... and the soul of art is hard to explain...
Trevor Franklin?
What's his middle name, Michael?
Great comment :D
Adamond Ave Thanks, I try.
stunning bike. ppl saying negative things really need 2 look at it in a different way. this isn't a bike...this is art
Batman called, he wants his bike back.
Aah yeess. the sound of motorcycles in the 1920s. I think that is a gorgeous motorcycle. very provocative and artistic design.
Can someone enlighten me why would someone buy/ride this bike....?
I was just wondering why i'm watching this video
cause it's a piece of art? custom? nobody has it? it fuckin'n gorgeus?
now, go and buy yourself Yamaha.
cheers
samborac46 I think what you tried to say was Honda
samborac46 Lol it's engineering and it needs to work, art second. Function and form.
This is a show bike...like a collector bike...you will never see this bike on the streets
i ride an r1 but MAN THE SOUND OF THIS BIKE IS JUST>>>>>INCREDIBLE>>>>>>fuc i love the sound of this of exhaust, i could FEEL what it would be like riding this machine just sitting here watching the vid!!
Lets hope there's not much crosswind while riding it
+Josh Lewis Exactly what I was thinking. Might as well attach a sail to it.
+Josh Lewis And u have your balls still on after long ride on this small seat.
Not to mention wouldnt want to crank 112 cubes with a 10 speed tire !! Pretty sure thatd be kinda squirly
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. You sir, have no eyes.
But what if you want to go more than 15mph, on ordinary roads?
a-SkepticalMan Aw man, you killed me! Ahaha!
I didn't even expect "Art"
To handle and not be that bad! I love it... Just to look at it.
When I look at this bike from a biker point of view one word comet to mind: Why?
Csaba Torok When?
Who?
I think it looks a bit....crap
John Doe I feel this way about electric bikes
From one builder to another. This is absolutely beautiful. Extremely tasteful and not overdone at all. This is a build done right.
what is the song ?????
+Phu Thịnh Nguyen It's annoying.
+Phu Thịnh Nguyen even shazam doenst know it :I
This bike is very crazy, I liked the design her, very inspired in the future!
I don't have words for expliquer! Unbelievable!
Thanks
The whole shifting focus in this vid is just annoying. If used right its a very effective way to draw attention to details the view might otherwise overlook, but in this vid its over used, and improperly used.
It's a nice looking bike though.
Not my type of bike but it sounds awesome, and gotta give em props for thinking outside the box, looks very high quality!
What kind of toaster was this filmed with? Focus!
I can more than appreciate Akrapovic for their hard work, but it's just not my style with design and engine choice. Much respect for them doing this, I sure as hell couldn't do something like this.
The filming hurts my eyes
Amazing design. Love to see something really new in style from time to time
looks like a "Decepticon" from Transformer lol
The bike is a work of art.
Oh yeah, real state of the art...with a hard tail? Another fancy looking non practical custom bike, meant to be looked at rather than ridden.
Love the look of that bike! I would never want to own it to ride around in but i love the look of it!
Lots of talk and landscape and very little bike.
That sound thou.... THAT SOUND!
no rear brake, sounds awful, like something from those stupid chopper shows.
+truantray There is a rear brake. It's using sprocket as a discbrake, you can see the calipers at 1:18 - 1:20
one of the best bike sounds ever.....
Its interesting. It would benefit from exhaust tuning.
Gabriel Choi
Such great meaning from so few words +1
Turbo Lover
And a new bike.
+Turbo Lover lmfao
That's a beautiful bike!
Stop focussing around and use a tripod once in a while
Shh
Most underrated comment ever!! Let me dislike.
Love seeing new bikes and ideas. Eat your heart out Harley.

$150000 dollars for their bike, trust me, this is a beast.
it sounds great, looks even greater .. All my respect ! But... what about the side wind? ..
The excitement of 15 to 20 mph.
Что за музыка играет?

Art And Design! Glorius, Well Done!
What's the songs name?
Finally MCN got a good camera!
lost interest the minute I seen some prat put solid wheels on it no consideration for crosswinds and those tiny headlights what the F are they supposed to light up ? sadly no matter how "cool" it looks its just a waste of a good engine
You had your speakers on right? Who cares about the wheels and lights! It looks and sounds amazing!
looks and sound are irrelevant as a piece of art it looks great as a motorcycle its totally useless and a waste of a good engine
nicky howard
I had the sound on... the sound stinks! It sounds like it's in need of more than just a good adjustment. Horrible!
nicky howard You do realise the purpose of a motorcycle right? its meant to be ridden as in moving ! you can get away with solid wheels on a car because of the inherent stability of having 4 wheels.
On 2 inline wheels as per most motorcycles stability is everything and the worst thing you can do is use solid wheels because as soon as you get a strong crosswind your very nice artsy fartsy bike is going to be on its side in a ditch.
Ehm, what good engine?
I would never let anyone ride this bike, I don't care how good of a rider they are! This bike is simply bad ass.
music?
I'm in love!! Not only does it look awesome, it has the sound to go with it!! A cruiser for the 21st century.
What is this song? Shazam is going crazy :(
That is an awesome bike! I wonder if crosswinds affect handling with those solid wheels.
The motorcycle of the future will phase in and out of focus.
Cestitam na genioznosti,veliki pozdrav iz Srbije!
nice bike!
I like how this bike, unlike most European and Japanese bikes, didn't just copy a 100 year old Harley Davidsons incredible looks!
It's horrible it's ugly it's not comfortable I don't know I don't know ;)
This bike is cool and all but it wasn't what I was expecting. I thought from the thumbnail that the back of the bike had a spherical ball instead of a wheel. Now that would be spectacular.
Worlds worst camera man
I really must be different because this is a sweet bike and I love the sound of the motor. Riding it in 1 degree temps is really ballsie.
I agree with you. It's no doubt what we're seeing here is jealousy that oozes from the fingertips of the ignorant. That's my take anyway.
Tony Roach I'll be glad to see this video reshot when the weather is warmer and you can get that motor kicking out some louder notes at higher rpms.
Stick to pipes
seems to have an unbelievable top speed of at least min. 30 miles per hour!
Hell on wheels!
That shit sucks
another visually stunning special that wobbles around at 27 mph
it's hideously ugly and unrideable!!!
It is what it is, a demonstration of some guy's dream... If you are into that sort of stuff, good luck to ya.
Another loud Harley that cant corner
один раз по луже и ты сразу вспомнишь создателя этого шедевра!
Is the engine from Tomos?
beautifull bike and increible image of the video, what camera has to use?
Awesome bike, video looks so cool. Thank you so very much for sharing. For Bobby and Pelle.
i have my own KTM RC8 & the Ducati Hypermotard 1100s.. & m gonna get this beast for my collection..
The camera work on this vid is so annoying. Could the camera stop trying to be so artistic and just focus on the freakin bike and hold the shot for 1 second so we can actually get a proper look at the bike? Or no he/she is too busy trying to be cool. grrr
Looks very cool! The sound is also amazing!
I think people are missing the point. It's a show bike, it looks cool. It doesn't have to handle well. Just a showcase of skills. A bit like a fashion show. Who would ever actually WEAR a dress from a fashion show? It's all about showing off craftmanship. Having said that, I ride for fun, and this doesn't look like much fun to ride.
Always interesting to see the future of chopping/bobbing..potentially.
Sounds Like Akrapovič !!! :)
i think the bike is great !!! i love the sound and the design :)
Love the way it look...nice work..
It's awesome, respect for akrapovič
As Saint Pierre said to Hughes.... "Ahh em nat empress bah yah performance"
Thanks youtube for recommending 😂
Beautiful art work an design love the lines .. looks styling jus standing still .. hope the next build you'd concider the V rod engine ...
That bike is fucking beautiful.
The secret extended troll footage? Why yes I did.
This hybrid seems to be a combination of chopper and sport bikes types. From comfort perspective, no helmet or screen means low speeds to avoid buffeting or tattoos on your cheeks made by bugs. Also, riding in this position at slow speeds with no wind pushing you backward and longer distances like you normally do on choppers would be a back killer.
Therefore, am presuming its primarily purpose is short rides around town from one coffee shop to another to show off unless I don't understand the concept of such bikes?
I'm probably too much into practical use of bikes such as city rounders, sports and dual-sports. Must admit though, it looks fantastic!
love the sound
gorgeous design - keep pushin the envelope
That might have been a good video if it was in focus. Did you film it with a toaster?
Those wheels are amazing and the engineering in that bike is awesome!
You'right, i thought it looked like a MB rear shock too, so i had a look at the bikes page on the Akra page and found this: "Rear Fox Air", so yes its a fox air shock.
super nice and the best from holland well done
Damn that's beauty.
Has some Harley traits. I like it.
