The first bike seems to have the easier to operate tranny and sounds pretty good. It also seems to handle better and more easily.
The second bike I would suspect was built to "wow the crowd" IMO it missed the mark because of the rideability issues.
To be clear, I applaud their engineering skills and fabrication abilities, I just prefer teh first bike over the second

I would swear that the purple one has a Boss Hoss frame or copied a Boss Hoss frame to a "T".....swingarm, crashguards, front end......
Cool bikes though

The purple one is the 430 that used to be the Tattoo Bike referred to above, Martin has seen it in the flesh. There is a video of it on youtube but I can't find it at the moment.
It was put up for sale in the UK in 2013 and it was the first BH I got really interested in but the guy didn't want to sell it to me as I didn't like the paint.
