SEMA has been known to host some pretty silly machines, and Bourget's Bike Works is making sure that the 2007 show is no exception. Next week, the small custom bike shop will be taking the wraps off its now Shredder F-80, a mish-mash of Porsche, Chevrolet, and custom parts that is bound to result in a Darwin Award nominee or two. Powering what can be called a four-wheel motorcycle is a 425-hp Chevy small block, while the body is all custom-crafted aluminum. Bourget's plans to build 25 of these a year at a price of $90,000. Good luck.
"No, honey, you don't look retarded at all! I'm soo happy you cut your hair like I told you to [the girls will love this one. For my next trick I'll have him jump off the Brooklyn Bridge]"
What's the point of using round-section motorcycle tires? Motorcycles need tires with a shape like that to corner. A four-wheeled vehicle is far better-off with the tread square to the ground. You can even see here that 2/3 of the tread isn't even being used.

The thing is all about looks and bragging rights, why would you need to drive it for?
2008 Chevrolet Chevy C2 - 1.6 liters of pure fire breathing dyno-juice burning fury! 1998 Kawasaki ER-5 - Oldie but goodie! 2005 Yamaha XT660R - The beast, and Euro-3 at that!

But that would only happen in my magical dreamworld, where VW dealers were a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory-like experience, everything had 4Motion and only cost $12K, and the ORLY owls were my co-pilots.
