Is this wrong?

An XS650 engine as an end table. Sure hope it was pooched before this happened.
Oh, and $950. lol.

I have no problem with that - I have a coffee table built on top of a GM Turbohydramatic 350 tranny......

......NOT!!

 

[bighairyralph]

My wife would hate that.........I'm going to have to make one now

 

[kshansen]

Well if nothing else that would be one way to store an engine in a nice warm and dry place. And for that price I would hope it was a complete and functional engine!

 

[MaxPete]

If it ran, it would an extremely effective at serving martinis in the James Bond style........

....ok - I will stop now.

Hydrodynomatic ?

 

[retiredgentleman]

Oh yeah....................I love the XS650 coffee table! Getting that design past my wife..........................nope, no chance at all.

I've got a trashed Maxim and a locked up Magna. The Magna is too ugly, even for an end table.

I see it as a complete waste of usable parts. Even if the cases are empty, there's still lots of what look to be good covers. And, I pay less for whole bikes, lol.

My wife would LOVE that thing! She is always wanting me to make cool 'tuff' stuff for the house. It's just my ABILITY that keeps getting in the way!

Good point! or bad point(s)...?

 

[mrtwowheel]

I do really like it and truly consider that "art", look how it sits on the headers!!!!!!!

Maybe, someone had a very good motor in great reconditioned shape and could not get the price that they thought it was worth and then just said f**k it.

Nah, I see now that it sits on a wooden block, still art.

 

[TwoManyXS1Bs]

I'm thinking it's an experiment to have an engine reclassified as furniture, or art, in an insidious attempt to bypass freight charges and restrictions...

 

[retiredgentleman]

Leaves you open to questions from guests such as, "Does it ever run, or is it just a family room queen?"

 

[TimeMachine]

Rookies ! Bikes have to be good for something here in the winter zone ! Wife ? uh uh lol...

 

[Paul Sutton]

Now that's what I call a practical table!!!!! Complete with iced beer in the candlesticks. Get an oval mattress made and it can double as a practical bed!

Motorcycles are art, all by themselves.
I regard my Bonney in the living room as being an Art Object.

In 1998 The Guggenheim Art Museum in NYC validated the motorcycle as Art by exhibiting only motorcycles throughout the building, altho it outraged most art critics (fools).
