Suggestions For Apocalypse Bike

[LionsGripp]

I saw the new Mad Max Fury Road trailer and thought it would be cool to put together an apocalypse bike. Something fun and fast that I can ride the hell out of and not care if I drop it or scratch it.

Wondering if you have an suggestions on the type of bike that would be good for this. I was thinking about a used stripped down bmw s1000rr, but they go for like 10k. Was looking for around 5k.

I was thinking about getting the new Indian Scout, but I like that one too much to strip it down.

Harley Davidson Iron883?

I was looking at getting that or my Duc and everyone said the 883 isn't that great. I think it looks sweet.

I love it i think it would be a brilliant apocalypse bike...

 

[LionsGripp]

It would. Its funny because one thing people said was that Harleys leak oil. After my 1st oil change my Duc leaked oil for the whole first season.

How about a Bandit? Delboys Garage (Moonfleet41 on YouTube) did an awesome rat job on one - called it "Damage" - check it out for some ideas maybe?

 

[LionsGripp]

Yeah saw that. It was pretty cool. Hope I can find something like that for sale. Just need something to bang around with. Maybe mount some cool camera angles for vlogging.

so it's the apocalypse. you get the first one you can find. which will probably be a 600 honda variation. you put on dirt tires, find some bags to hold your shit. this does pretty well. then the fan breaks and the radiator overheats and starts puking everywhere. you see a dirt bike. grab it, throw you bags on the back. it's versatile, but too slow with all the extra weight. You do a wheelie, fall off, bike is trashed. oh look there's a harley bagger! you load it up, take off, but the sound of your stereo blasting R.E.M. songs attracts more zombies. No good. You take it back to the dealership. Here you find a grom. it's quick, quiet, and if it gets stuck, you can carry it on your back.

Grom is the answer.

I don't think I'm going to outrun zombies on something that looks like a pit bike Besides where to I put the girl I rescued to repopulate the world.

 

[wolfxandxcrow]

if she doesn't have her own bike, leave her.

@wolfxandxcrow - nailed it mate. Grom is the way forward. I want one, but I can't think when I'd use it...

i'd use solely for shenanigans

 

[Lurch]

Yeah, I don't get much time for that, £2500 is a lot of money to have laid about.

very true. daydreaming is free though

This ain't bad. About 3,000 USD though. Comes with all you need to hunt zombies and if you put pegs on the back you can bring the girl too. Win/Win. That Grom is nice. Never saw one before.
