I think they should do the same with the person that did that with a few changes. I am thinking rope and I am thinking a noose.

why? I don't get it, they could have just given me the bike and I'd ride it.

Stunting is cool, I'm just not down with somebody destroying a bike for cheap thrills. At least this one had better camera angles tho'

Why an old honda? Why not use a new Harley if he is trying to make statement.

Man that is very hard for me to watch, I was a CB 350 owner when the CB500 four was released and I dreamed of owning one, alas I could not afford the $1200. I have two of them now and one is very special (pictured below). The four pipes are hard to find and the fool just ruined a set, they looked pretty good to me.

the definition of "art" seems to get a bit more loose with every pasing day. the thought of some skinny artsy a-hole stringing that bike up to watch it wreck itself makes me sick. it literally makes me want to punch someone.

Your picture isn't working. Speaking of CB500s, my first bike was a 1973 CB500 four and that was 1990/1991 and I kept it for a few years and passed my road test on it then gave it to a co-worker who did the same. It was a darn good bike!

I feel the same way stupid yuppie *** cant paint so he makes a bike swing on a chain?

modern art would be him getting his throat cut letting him drown in his blood then using that bike to ride around on a canvas and paint its tire tracks in his blood.


ahhhh the possibilities of modern art.

I think both efforts are stupid. Get a cheap chinese dual-sport and learn to stunt, then get a ragged-out racetrack refugee 600 I-4 to show real skill level. And the so called art is just inane.

I got a 75' cb550 too. That's devastating but he probably still cant kill that bike.

My neighbor has one of those, he shines that thing every sat morning and then stares at it in the driveway for about 2 hours..sorry cal2az put everyone through that, im sure he didnt think everyone would be so hurt...

This will surely make you forget anything you just saw..

I call it "f-art" or wait..... ART...

my first bike was a cb550 (see signature)

that thing was more bulletproof than my toyota pickup. something about that video just brings the bike to life and, apparently, makes all of our stomachs turn.
