I know big rim bikes are in style now but for me they remind me of this everytime I see a bike with large rims :

Admittedly I actually like the big wheel look.  But then again it could be because I always wanted one as a kid and never got it.
For some reason I feel like these two threads should be merged.

 :D ;D :o ;D :2vrolijk_21:  X2 there gup. 

I just have one question on the big wheel......why?  'Bout the goofiest thing I believe I've seen today....but it's early.  It's their money to do with what the builder wants but don git it.... :nixweiss:

Just the culmination of all the other goofy crap people put out there to gain attention.  Absolutely awful in terms of actual function of course, but once it hits the show circuit or the magazines there will be plenty of imitators actually selling this sort of crap.  In a similar vein, I especially love the big rim/rubber band tire thing on huge SUV's.  It reminds me of a sumo wrestler with size six feet in a pair of ballet slippers.

I think I liked it a whole lot more when people just grew their hair long or dyed it purple or got a ridiculous tat to say "look at me, look at me".

From that pic it looks like it has front air ride as well as rear air ride. That would add 3" of suspension travel to the bike.

I dont mind the look of a bigger front tire but there is a point when it becomes ridiculous

I believe you called it correctly.

I rode the Rampage Wheels Black RG with a 30" front wheel at Sturgis this year, let me just say it attracts "a lot" of attention and compliments. It rode pretty good too although it felt just a little heavy or sluggish as one would imagine at parking lot speeds until you get use to it, the bikes motor is built up as well with a kick a$$ tune system.  The bike is currently in the back cover of several Bagger magazines in the Rampage Wheels ad. The Kewl Metal (no frame cut) raked triple tree kit worked as advertised and was very smooth.

I'll admit I wasn't up to taking it up past 100 mph on I-90 first time out without a helmet or proper riding gear but it was stable to that point and the ride was not harsh at all, firm yes...harsh no.

Guess the beauty is in the eye of the beholder on this proposition.
