NASA Tribute Chopper


Let me just state up front that I found the “stars” of American Chopper completely and utterly OBNOXIOUS… but they did happen to do a really spectacular tribute bike themed around Space Shuttle Discovery’s Return to Flight mission in 2005, STS-114.

The bike’s episodes are #58 & #59, which aired October 3 & 10, 2005. Minus the stars’ antics, fights and general… drama… the bike is a thing of beauty, and if these guys have one thing right, it’s an eye for minute detail. The gas tank is shuttle-shaped, the exhaust pipes (shown below, my favorite detail) are tipped with a replica of the Space Shuttle Main Engines, and the airbrush work and detailed painting throughout is just… spectacular. I particularly like the miniature orbiting shuttle “spinners” on the wheels, front and back. The gallery is definitely worth a look!

2009 Suzuki B-King ABS


Meet the Hayabusa's first cousin the B-King. And while the Hayabusa is a sleek sophisticated, the B-King is its rowdy alter ego. Its aggressive styling gives it an attitude that simply says, Don't mess with me! Featuring a slightly modified version of the 2008 Hayabusa's new engine, complemented by state-of-the-art chassis and suspension systems, the B-King offers incredible all-around capabilities - breathtaking acceleration matched by precise, responsive handling.

Inquire about our Hannigan Trike program, we build from new or can convert your existing BMW.


Is this all we have to offer? OF COURSE NOT!
Bob's has always been known for keeping one of the largest inventories of new and used BMW's on hand 12 months a year. Because we sell so many bikes (1 customer at a time) we simply choose not to show you a photo (or line listing) of every bike available and clog up the site. But rest assured we have the new or used bike (and plenty of non BMW's) you desire available, and if we don't have it right now it's probably on a truck or in a ship heading here so it will be ready for you very soon.
BOB WANTS YOU to show us your clean, mechanically perfect and desirable used bikes. We even want your dirty, possibly not run in eleven years and far less than perfect bike too. Regardless of the year, model, condition or brand. Period.

Just TWO requirements: 1) that you have a clear title in your possession, and 2.) you have at least one key to give us. It's that simple.

Our customers are eager for used bikes at every price level. Sure, we want clean, late model bikes, but even if you think your old ride isn’t worth anything, you've got nothing to loose by bringing it in so we can at least have a look and tell you what it’s worth to us. If you can't deliver the bike, we can, within reason, arrange to have it picked up.

Let’s talk about it! Contact Ashton or Bob, either by email or with a phone call to 301-497-8949 (x 237 for Ashton, 218 for Bob) or Toll-Free 888-269-2627. Do it NOW!

GSX-R 1100 show bikes


always one of the most exclusive bikes you can ever lay your filthy hands on. If you have a load of cash in your bank, you might as well customize it fully and get it all done up with carbon fiber. The bike was designed by Justin and it comes with an awesome 989 oil-cooled 1200cc GSX-R 1100 engine. It also has the much needed Wiseco kit. Linq designs have lent their expertise to design the LED accent lights, custom body works, reservoirs, levers and other such stuff.

If you were wondering how exclusive it really is, it even got featured on Kayne’s latest video. I would say this bike looks la little rustic but then since it is customizable, you could get it to look like you want it to. The bike has been quoted to cost $14,500 and is up for grabs. If you would like to bid, it is open for bidding too.

If you are into carbon fiber stuff, you would treasure this bike like your own soul mate. It really would be fun to ride this bike on a highway with no one in sight. You would have the self satisfaction of riding one of the best bikes too!
