Last year, while riding down the highway I saw a strange bike. It was a honda of some sort but instead of the normal rear tire it had an automobile tire. It was obviously much flatter and wider and the guy riding it had a real easy time doing a wheelie down the road. Anyone else ever seen something like this and how would you make it work? (My mind is blocked)

 

Only time ive seen something like that is on a drag bike. And this dude was riging it on the street? You got me

 

the only honda's I've seen with a car tire are the Valkyrie. I don't know if it'd wheelie , but then again, if it's got 2 wheels, it can be wheelied by someone. There are those "Boss Hoss's" also. Dunno

 

could they have had a 240 swing arm on it and just that fat of a tire

 

are you sure it was a car tire? The car tires are completely flat. How would he steer if he is on the freeway which is considered fast and how could he get the wheel to fit in the swingarm?

 

thats what I was wondering... It was a flat tire but he seemed to steer it alright....

 

 

I saw one in some magazine. I think it was some streetfightered gixxer 1100. It looked pretty cool, it was some french guy I think.

 

theres no way you could turn on a car radial?

 

i've seen a bosshoss with a car tire,

you could steer it though, you'd just have to work a little harder to do it

 

I'd like to have that on my gixxer. Imagine... waiting for a Walmart tire sale... getting 4 tires for $100.
