Buds Vintage Cycles International Buyers Please Read Payment and Shipping Agreement Below Before Purchasing !!! "OFF SEASON"DISCOUNTWe are offering FREE SHIPPING within the U.S. Lower 48 statesOffered For The Months of Jan & Feb 2016 These unique functional art pieces truly represent our passion for vintage cycles... Over the past few years quite a few builders have started building bikes of this kind. A few of them are building Really Nice examples. We have chosen to approach building these Tribute Replicas, with "REPLICA" being the main focus. We do our best to build our bikes in a manner that one can distinctly pinpoint the Make, and Model we are replicating even without paint and logos. On this type of platform there are obvious restraints to how accurate we can come to an original bike, but we do everything possible to build our customers an example of their favorite vintage ride. Building our bikes in this manner truly gives each customer a ONE OFF CUSTOM ! Here for your consideration is one of our latest Tribute Replica. This bike was designed and built to be reminiscent of an early 1900's Indian board track racer. Done in Indian's traditional Red color with a "barn find" finish, completing the motif, look and feel of a vintage survivor. Completing a believable Rustic Finish is all about the details. Look close and your sure to see our attention to those details. From the frame design to the hand crafted fuel tank and Gold leaf logos. All the way down the line to the smallest nuts and bolts, every inch of this build is finished to look a tho it has lived and survived the test of time. This bike is 100% finished and ready for a new home. We road test all of our builds to ensure that they arrive tuned in, problem free and ready for the road ahead. Each bike is put to the test and has roughly 30+ miles on the road before going up for sale.(This is why we list them as "USED") Bike is available for viewing at our shop for any local buyer to come take a look in person. If local and interested we would love for you to stop by. The Barn Find finish is something to behold in person. Though we do our very best to take as high quality photos as possible, photos just don't do it justice! We are NOT Professional Photographers, by any means. We simple do our best and upload the photos. What you see in the photos is the Actual bike you will receive. Capturing this type of finish in photos is truly a pain! With almost every bike, are customers always say "Your right, pictures just don't do it justice. Seeing these bikes in this finish is SO MUCH better in person". For each different model one could count the total number of originals that have survived to date and not run short of Fingers and Toes. One of the last public Sales of one of these extremely rare original Bikes, (a 1912 HD), sold at action this past March 2015 for a tremendous... $236,500 !!!!!!! <---- That is NOT a Typo ! I don't know about you, but we sure can't afford those prices ! And even if we could we surly would Never ride a bike that rare and expensive. So, to quench our thirst and love for these timeless bikes we build Tribute Replicas. This we feel is the Closest and Next Best thing to being able to enjoy the wind in your hair on the back of your favorite vintage bike. Kick your leg over and roll back the throttle on one of these bikes and your taken back to those, truly Simpler times. At a fraction of the cost of the super rare originals, anyone that shares our passion for these timeless examples of motorcycling history can own and better yet enjoy riding there very own Tribute Replica. These bikes are crafted with NEW parts,(some factory and hand made), that are only finished to look old and worn. Each bike is a one off build. With fantastic MPG's from the 2 stroke motor, the joy of riding to the corner store or all the way across town is up to you. The extremely simplistic power plant is virtually maintenance free, only needing minor adjustments such as chain tension from time to time. Which is simply done with common hand tools. The great thing about this Moped style set up is that when you don't want to use the motor, bike functions just like an ordinary bicycle, and can go anywhere you wish to peddle it. When using the motor, bike can reach speeds up to around 35 mph, and with around 80 MPG the fun seemingly goes on forever. Safety First...We HIGHLY suggest draining all fuel from the bike before displaying them in a home, office or place of business !!! If purchasing for display only... Let us know and we will drain, rinse and thoroughly clean out the fuel tank, carb float bowl, and motor before shipping. We will do this Free Of Charge to ensure that it is done correctly and that the bike will not only be safe to display in Home, Office, or business, but will also be completely free of all fumes and fuel smells. We pride ourselves in building our bikes not only to be eye catching art, but also to be completely functional and ride-able. You will find that all of our fuel tanks are hand crafted for each individual build. Building each tank by hand allows us to more accurately replicate the style of tank for each individual motif. Depending on the style, each one of our tanks hold at least 1 US Gallon, giving the rider a riding range under motor power of around 80 miles per tank. Each tank is hand crafted from scratch using high quality 16 gauge steel. Completely TIG welded and internally seal with a fuel tank sealer that protects the tank from internal rusting for years to come. In most of the U.S.A. these types of bikes are classified by the states DMV, (department of motor vehicles), as "Mopeds". Therefore they DO NOT require title, licensing or even a motorcycle endorsement. However, check with your local DMV to be sure of the laws in your area. So many people from different walks of life all seam to have a common draw to the timeless look and feel of these bikes. Many people like to ask questions and take a few photos, never a dull moment riding one of these around town ! As much fun as they are to ride, they are just as fantastic as a functional art peace for an office, den, or as that attention grabbing conversation piece for your/his man cave. They are also fantastic for promotional events or as an eye grabber for a store front. Have had a few customers order builds to be used as "PIT" bikes on track days, and other customers have ordered a few for RVing around the country. Also great as a compliment piece to ride in the bed of your classic truck. The best part is, at the car show pull out the bike and ride around to view and enjoy the other beautiful machines and people. What more fun and unique way can you think of to get around the pits, camp grounds, car shows or just cruise around town. These fun, one of a kind bikes can truly go anywhere and everywhere, and are sure to turn heads wherever they go. Over the past few years we have built quite a few of these fun bikes in many different styles and motifs. Though we love replicating the look and feel of the rare vintage originals, we are more then happy to build to a customers design. If looking for a great marketing or promotional piece for your Business we can incorporate your logo and overall company themes on a platform that is sure to draw attention !
