BRAT Chobber


USA - motorcycle - 100cc. I designed this bike, Detroit Bros built it in Michigan, from scratch, took 8 months. Frame is a hefty 1.75” chrome moly tubing with an extendable seat stem (first ever -- that I know of -- on a motorcycle) and micro monoshock to remove a little of the jolt inherent in rigid frames. Seat is hand-stitched antiqued leather over steel seat pan. Wheels are 12” alloy rims w/ stainless hand-laced spokes and fatty street tires. Engine is a Honda air-cooled 99cc manual 4-speed with Mikuni carb w/ straight-out wrapped pipe. Tank is an aftermarket zero-rust injection-molded plastic unit for a 1974 Monkey bike. Harley pegs, billet lights, 12" apehanger bars, drum brakes, digital tac/speedo. Fully US road legal. It pulls 60mph (hold on tight) and gets 120mpg. Beat that.
