Electro Scrambler by Luca Bar

Makes you wonder how many horses are hiding in there and how long it will take someone to find out. Just think about all of the other places that V4 would fit. For those of us of a certain age, that bike will sell on sound alone. UPDATE: We've got some new photos … [Read more...]
