The finest motorized bike ever built?

[HoughMade]

$1,000,000.00

Yes, I got the number of zeros right. More art than motoredbike. Powered by a 1966 Honda moped engine w 1.5hp

I have to admit...the best motored bikes are found on Wired.com

Kind of out of my price range!

Once that thing hits the road and gets scratched up, probably lose half it's value!

Ok, new bench mark. Way cool, enjoyed it all. Thank you.

My bike is much better...
If you paid $1 mil., would you ride that thing???

Nice... but Hough's is better. Congratulations Hough, you are a millionare!

By the standard of value applied to the bike on Wired, I should be able to pay off my house with my Happy Time. Any takers? Let's start the bid for mine at $150,000! (Includes a full tank of gas, and 3 bottles of 2 stroke oil.)

I like the frame geometry.

The Chicara Art IV don't look real comfortable to ride.
The seat looks like a torture device to me.
I think you'd need to wear some special padded under-pants
for that one

I guess at $1M, its more Art than ride.
