Performence Machine is a high end motorcycle machining parts. They do alot of stuff in many different angles. From HD parts to sportbike wheels. They get a great deal of design cues from Rolland Sands. A retired AMA racer, I'm sure many of you know that already.

I wanted to see what you guys think of this Sportbike influenced V-Rod one off custom bike. Its a hybrid of cruiser and sportbike, designed by Rolland himself.

And the best for last:

And another one off!

This one isn't bad. The design is much cleaner than the other.

Well the other one was designed and made in 7 days... which is stupid fast... it was for one of those biker build off shows.. this one... I don't know how long he spent on it.

You just like it cause its liquid cooled and it has a modified Kawasaki tail section!

Which I believe is a 636 tail...

Too fat of a rear tire, but otherwise, I dig it. Hey, a Porsche-designed engine is sweet!!!

I can appreciate the hard work that went into it, but it seems pointless. The geometry is too out of whack to handle good and the fat rear doesn't help either.
