Hey guys well what can I say? Somebody's gotta keep you all posted on the Kaplan Kawi triples. You gotta check out the buy it now option, not cheap.

If I never have to see the term "Cafe Racer" ever again it will be just fine with me. Most over used term on the planet!

I know what you mean but I thought I would add that in when I copy and pasted the subject line just to be sure of what we're looking at. This custom creation that it is and certainly far from being stock. I like the bike but the price is a total ouch considering what it is. Not that I don't appreciate all the builder's effort and ingenuity.

12k.



my old s2 put down 59 at the rear wheel and i was told i was crazy selling it for 4k. at least i had the numbers to prove it.

5k, max, maybe.

That's a sweet bike and I dig the pipes! Good luck with that price...

It may be a nice bike, but it's now been tainted by Kaplan

everytime i see one of his bike videos i laugh my ass off!!!  he is such a bad ass wannabe, guns and knives and Capt America  get up!!!  always trying to wheelie bikes to show off! wonder how many videos have had to be edited due to him dropping bikes????   

[RDryan]

LOL, he says those guns and knives are for protection from the bike thieves. I admittedly watch most all of videos  I've seen one of his younger mechanics standing there in numerous videos with a handgun holstered to his waist as well. I know one his videos was a choreographed act of the whole crew being all bad ass and on the hunt for bike thieves. Never been to Rockville, Conn. must be the wild west them parts.

He actually had a reality TV show. It was called Kaplan America or something ridiculous like that. The first episode was about him and his crew trying to recover some bikes that had been stolen from a friend. It was so stupid and painfully corny that I couldn't watch more than 5 min of it. I don't even think there was an episode #2 it was so bad.

The buy it now price just dropped to 11.5k. Still way too much.

LOL, good luck with that.

I struggled to get $3800 for my KH400 a couple years ago.

Not as shiny, and stock front end, but still, very comparable.
