    Kimi Raikkonen Buys Himself a New Motorcycle!

    To reward himself on a season's hard work, Kimi made an order for a customized motorcycle from Walz Hardcore Cycles. The drag-style 120 horsepower Harley Davidson chopper cost 120,000 Euros to make.This design is unique and cannot be bought at your local, or any, dealer

    The ride also features pneumatic variation of ride height in range of 15 cm.

    The guy laughing in front of the garage with an Enzo in the background is Kimi himself

    I'm not an enormous fan of choppers, although there are some pretty cool looking customs coming out of the woodwork.

    I can't say I've seen a single-sided swingarm on a chopper before And, either Kimi is huge, or that's one of the smallest choppers I've seen

    120 horses is impressive too. You think he has a clause in his contract regarding risky activities?

    Ya cuz nailing the tire barrier isn't risky!! The single swing arm has been around a bit. I like it though. Nice touch with the prancing horse. I guess you get the Enzo as part of your Ferrari contract. The bike does look a bit small but I like the style. It needs a slighty longer headlight though.

    The bike on the homepage does not look at all comfortable to ride. It just looks weird Other than that, nice stuff.

    when you pay 150 000 for a bike you are not after comfort.. you are after individuality and image

    I doubt thats a bike he will ride to work.. he will have it there as a display and maybe as a toy for the odd times that he will feel like it..

    I get that, what I was getting at was that the 'rearsets' were placed so much more towards the rider than what I'm used to seeing on a 'chopper'. My buddy just had one built with an S&S (80 grand Canadian) and it looks more like he'a on a lounge chair than this guy with his knees around his chin. To me it looks akward Believe me, comfort is more important than you think. Especially if you're gonna blow that much dough, and you actually want to ride the thing.

    I guess if it's just a trophy, who cares whether or not you put your back out

    Ya, if I were going to spend the $$ I'd want to ride it. Otherwise what's the point. Even if I had money like Kimi ($40 million US this year) I'd still want to be able to use what I bought.

    I dont think that it is unusable.. but lets be honest thats just a toy.. its not like you are sitting in a bentley.. its like you are sitting in a cobra race car.. and dont tell me thats comfortable! its an uncomfortable hard car to drive.. but I would love to own one any day!

    I think the same goes for this bike..
