HONDA FAT CAT 650

Who would’ve ever thought a Honda could look so cool? Not me! has pumped out some awesome custom motorcycle builds over the years but I believe this one has to be one of my favorites. It reminds me a lot of the old school Honda Fat Cat from the 1980’s with the big fat tires but 1,000 times cooler than what a Fat Cat could ever be haha. Most custom bikes don’t really look like they would be that fun to actually ride… This bike that started out its life as an xr650l looks like it’d be an absolute blast to act like a hooligan on!

It’s amazing when you look at the fine details on builds like this one. The amount of time and effort as well as talent that goes into building a bike of this magnitude just blows my mind. I’d be entirely too scared to even think about riding it though in fear of scratching a one-off piece that you spent countless hours working on and designing etc.
