These Chicara Motorcycles aren’t meant to be driven. That’s a point you HAVE to understand before you divert your eyes at the photos below. These are works of art — Million dollar bikes that are built for visual pleasure — something the designer Chicara Nagata succeeds in achieving in every single one of his creations - in my humble opinion.

Mr. Chicara has built 13 bikes to date, 3 of them that can be seen at the Ippodo Gallery right now (where you can also buy them for one million each). Photos below are the bikes currently for viewing - photos thanks to the Ippodo Gallery & the official Chicara Art site!

I’m a fan!

This multinational company is today the fifth largest automobile maker in the world. They are also the largest engine maker in the world.

The Honda SL100 is one such good bike with world class features and best performance ratings.

This Honda Club Motorcycle by Sam Jilbert is an alternative fuel-powered concept bike we’ll obviously not see in production, but which might be an excellent boost for alternative car fuels in the motorcycle-world. I love the idea — I’m an environment-loving petrolhead!

This extreme crash from the World Superbike is one of the luckiest things I’ve ever seen in bike racing… Whoever this is got crushed into the padded wall, then falls down which saves his life as someone else’s bike just misses his head…

Whoever that is — he’s got one hell of a guardian angel.

I love the Suzuki TLR1000 — we’ve established that before and I try to mention the TL’s as much as I can and this awesome idle sound video (and mediocre revving, what a nub! haha) is very much worth some Isopo Moto Link Love!

Seriously — I’ll take the girl over the bike any day. What were they thinking?

There are a few considerations these specialized motorcycle insurance companies ask before giving you old timer motorcycle insurance coverage. If all of these do not apply to you they may still consider offering you coverage but it possibly will be at a higher rate.

To be considered an old timer or vintage motorcycles it has to be at least fifteen years old. You require you to store your old timer in a locked garage. Another way to get a cheaper rate is to have a clean driving record. They will accept one speeding ticket in the past three years but any other convictions are not accepted. If you have had no fault claims in the last five years that will also help you to get better rates. Most bikers need a full category “A” license for at least 2 years. The only bikes they will specialize in are British, European and Japanese bikes. They would rather you had not done any modifications on your vintage bike. The minimum drivers age is twenty-five years of age.

These are all things to consider and be aware of as you are shopping for old timer motorcycle insurance. You can pull up many companies that are specialists in vintage motorcycle insurance.

These have bikes themselves or have had a bike. They know how valuable your old timer is to you and they are willing to help you get the best coverage for your old timer as you need and your budget can stand. Be sure to ask many questions because there may be more discount rate motorcycle insurance offers that haven’t been mentioned above.

Great news for the Suzuki TLR 1000 fans. I found a directory filled with images of both sexy and… not so sexy TL’s while browisng the net — and I’m sharin’!
