Roger Goldammer’s ExperiMental for sale

By Paul Crowe

Roger Goldammer's Experimental 250cc racer

Roger Goldammer’s ExperiMental, the Discovery Biker Build Off bike is for sale. It’s powered by a 250cc liquid cooled 2 stroke super kart engine with tandem cylinders and 2 crankshafts geared together. It’s a pretty impressive piece of engineering. The show featured his bike running against Matt Hotch who built his Vincent powered Vinnie. Roger won with a 128mph pass. Not bad for a 250! The bike is priced at $150,000.

    Now there is a high dollar bike that I can lust after.

    Wish I hadn’t missed that episode, nice bike and raced against a Vincent!?! What more could you ask for in a show!

    loved this bike, saw it up close at the artistery in iron show – looks better up close

    but GD! 150K? come on.

    how many Desmosedici’s would that buy?

    about 2 Desmosedici’s.

    almost 12 Yamaha R1’s

    15,000 sandwiches

    or 2 well-done, one-off custom cars (chopped, lowered, channeled, etc.) with quality interior and sounds.

    I love the Leo front-end.

    Those are some expensive sammiches!

    I can think of several things that I could better spend $150k on. Seems a bit on the extremely crazy side for a project bike.

    $150K? In dollars?

    Must be a waterfront bike. What kind of watch do you get?

    how difficult would it be to imitate this project bike? it would be nice to see more small displacement bikes in the spotlight.

    I don’t know about anyone else, but $ 72,000 buys me a Ducati Desmosedeci GP replica that will probably do 200+ MPH, and side by side with this bike, guess which bike will have the crowd around it?

    Yes, the detail work is good, but $ 150K for a “tiddler?”

    PS- before anyone “flames” me, I know a “Tiddler” is technically a 125cc, not a 250cc.

    “$72,000 buys me a Ducati Desmosedeci GP replica that will probably do 200+ MPH, and side by side with this bike, guess which bike will have the crowd around it?”

    …depends where you park it, I suppose. with something like 1300 Desmosedecis confirmed so far, it won’t be too long before 2 get parked at the same starbucks. I also expect to see one on the ducati stand at one of the bike shows this year, as will a large number of bike freaks. what are the odds of getting a chance to gander at this thing parked on the street?

    yes, the ducati is a better bike. but it’s likely that by 2009 or 2010 a stock gixxer or fireblade will outperform it – for less than a fifth the cost!

    to each their own… if I had that kind of money I’d want one of each – after I had a NR750 and a britten in the garage already.

    I like a lot of the stuff he does but except for the front suspension I have always felt this bike was a mess. Its proportions are just too wonky.

    I do admire his thinking out of the box though because he could have just done another Harley powered custom.

    I like it, we need more small capacity motorcycles in this world. This thing looks long, lean, and fast, and that’s how I like it. Pity it’s 2 stroke though, I’m more of a v-twin 4 stroke kind of a guy.
