I really want the Volvo. I've been a wagon guy since I was a teenager. But there's no way I can afford one of Jonathan's Derelicts. Fingers are.crossed for a huge lottery win. lol

Absolutely love the patina on that gorgeous red leather interior. Man that Benz is cool!

Ok. What about taking a bit of what Icon does and use it in the MC world? Not the exact same, but a bit of inspiration. Hear me out. Take a capable, cheap cost of entry super bike from the last 10years and backdate it properly. Like a CB1000 and then put handlebars on it, a cool seat and tastefully minimize the bodywork. (I know they make a CB1000r, I’m not done). Then take those parts and sell them as a kit. The problem with most naked bikes is the silly aesthetics. No character, and they mute the power for “rideability” around town. Ever ride an ‘18 S1000rr? I did. 20k miles in 3 years, commuting. It was great, but I hated the riding position over time and I was never giving to a track… so yeah. The point I’m trying to make is when I replaced it I wanted something cool but didn’t want to lose the full-fat version of what I had. Long story long, if I had a kit I could buy that transformed the bike into something better for my commute Ida done it. Old school looks, taller bars, bag mounts for bags that don’t look like a Jansport, taller windscreen. Ida bought a kit in a second and kept that bike. What did I do instead? I spent way more money on a new Streetfighter V4S that still doesn’t check all the boxes, but at least it’s not neutered down. The market is missing it. It could be a real thing. A Revival kit for a super bike. That was way more words than I wanted to write. Great video.

We've certainly discussed this sort of thing in the past. I think one of the biggest challenges is the size of the market willing to shell out the money for a small batch run of a kit. There are shops that do it but I don't know if it's sustainable over the long haul.

Big difference between the volume of the video, and the commercial @ the end. Looking forward to part 2.

One alternative to putting a little blurb at the end asking for your support would be to pump the video full of commercial breaks that you're forced to sit through. 😘

I want one of those Derelict builds. Really cool. I wish you guys would restock your t-shirts on the website. I see a bunch of tee's that I want but you've been out of my size for months.
